Pyramid Black Tape Nylon Double Bass S Reviews

Good strings for ok price.

Works fine, sounds good, not as good as the strings I use to have, and the windings below the bridge have broken, thats ok until I have to remove the strings then all windings will unwind.

thin sounding

a litle thin sounding, but ok for the price and works great on my cheap bass, but on the solid body bass it sounds to thin

Very strings for the money - the G string sounds a little too steely for my taste

Unusually short!

These seem to be pretty good strings for the price - or they would be, if they were long enough for all 3/4-scale basses! The useful length of string is only around 133cm on the G, so beware and measure first if you plan on using them on bigger 3/4 basses or ones with an unusually long bridge-to-tailpiece measurement, especially Stagg and Palatino electrics (which come up a couple of centimetres too long overall, even with a very low bridge).

Feel-wise, they seem alright for mid-priced pizz strings. No comments on playability, since I can't play them!

Pyramid Black Tape Nylon

Great strings for this price. I was looking for budget strings for my cheap plywood double bass and these must be one of the best pizzicato strings at this price range. E,A and maybe D string too are good and sounds very mellow but the G string sounds a bit too metallic for my taste. Not as mellow as the rest of the strings. All in all good strings for pizzicato. Haven't tried arco.

Nice strings on a budget

Bought to go on a scrappy student bass I'm very pleased with how nice these strings have turned out. I can't speak for bowing but for Jazz pizz. they can put out a good volume and have a pretty even round sound all over the range (except the open G which has a little too much zing on it).

They're not noticeably wider than plain steel, so there was no need to file the slots in the bridge or nut any wider, and personally I find the slight powdery feel of the nylon tape nicer than steel to play on.

And just as a little after thought, they look very slinky.

i like them

feel a bit different but they sound great

a little lighter on the finger tip too so less painful if your calouses have became a bit weak
