Did a trade here for a Bass Collection Nanyo 310 - I already have a 301, but like it so much that I thought I'd get the next model up. The Bass arrived with a gauge I wasn't happy with so I changed the strings to a set of Status Black tapewounds.

I had a set on my Schuker Fretless which sounded great but I hadn't tried them on a fretted bass.

Just put a set on the Bass Collection - wow!! - blew my mind...sounds reminiscent of a Double Bass, if Leo had got this sound when he first invented the Electric Bass he would have stopped there..

At £14 a set you can't go wrong - I like them so much that if you buy a set and you're not happy with them, I'll buy them off you...

Glad you found that too. Maybe it's just something about the match with a Nanyo BC but I have a set on my Nanyo BC too and am as happy with them as you are. Just brought the bass alive.

I wish they did a 6 string set!!!

Are you listening Rob!!!! :)

I've recently been using Tru Bass nylons by Rotosound, they are very nice, have a particular earthy sound and do in fact have a bit of bite if you dig in, cheap enough to buy just to try. I stuck them on my jazz bass but I'm tempted to now put them on an active bass. Go try a set I think they will suprise you!
