Rotosound Black Nylon strings
Loosecorp 04.04.2018
Very good product as all the set of strings that I always purchase with Rotosound.

I wanted to tried black strings on my bass and tried various types but was never happy with one.

This strings feels incredibly nice if you like flat wound strings.
The tone is very round and low and the look is obviously very cool.
I tried it on my Fender Jazz Bass but the strings were too thick and wouldn't fit the little holes at the top of the neck.
I then tried them on my acoustic bass and it sounded quite amazing, similar to a double bass, which is really was I was looking for.

Hope you found this helpful.

Stylish, but not the best.

The main reason for purchasing these string was style!

On an all black fretless bass these look the business. The strings are nearly as smooth as flats, so no damage to the fretboard. As far as tone is concerned, one does, as expected lose a little of the top end with these string. My only other concern is that the low E is does not have as much tension as I would like.

Although, these strings are good and perform well, I now use the Fender 9120 Nylon Tape Wound Bass Strings, which seem a bit brighter, with less "flap" on the E string.

Great sound and feel
IPbassist 10.12.2018
Bought these for me new acoustic bass. I play a lot of country and folk and wanted something that resembled the sounds of an upright. These do that to a certain extent.

I love how they feel on my fingers and find them very easy to play.

Only negative thing I can say is that the A string sounds dead. It was like that as soon as I put it on. Maybe I messed up something while putting it on as I've used Rotosound strings countless times and have never had issues with them before.
