Great sounding strings, pronounced but smooth! I've put them on a jazz bass, lowered the action a bit, and they turned it into a completely new instrument. They are easy on the fingers too.

High class fretless strings!

On my Spector fretless NS2-CTB I started with a set of TI jazz flats. Good, but not perfect ...next out Labella Black Tapewounds.... better, but still not enough wood....then I stumbled upon the Pyramids.

Compared to the Labellas:

A shade of grey in the color

A velvet-like feel (against the plastic feel of Labellas)

Clear strong harmonics.

Easy to intonate.

First class quality.

Can take hard playing without loosing stature/tone

Tone that cuts through against keyboards and synth

Very nice woody and rich sounding strings!

I would recommend trying these on any fretless bass if you are looking for a rich acoustic kind of sound.

My new favorites !!

Great, if you like low tension strings

A very old school string, but unlike some other tape wounds, these are very low tension. Easy on the hands, great warm sound but you will have to adjust the action - they are floppy! The only issue is the plastic wrap breaks the earth connection at the bridge, so yo may find an electrical buzz that won't go away in some venues. Not a huge problem, or unique to these Pyramid strings but can be an issue.
