The La Bella 760N-B-S black nylon tape wound bass strings are a 5-string standard gauge set for short scale basses. Short scale 5-string basses are a niche instrument, and finding proper tape wound strings for them is even more specialized. La Bella delivers with this dedicated set that's cut to the right length for short scale instruments, ensuring proper tension and clean intonation.

Black nylon tape winding gives these strings a warm, dark tone with a slightly thicker midrange presence compared to white tape wounds. The combination of short scale length and tape wound construction creates an incredibly fat, pillowy bass tone that's about as close to an upright as an electric bass can get. The smooth surface keeps finger noise away and is gentle on fretless fingerboards. Handmade in New York, these are a specialty set for players who know exactly what they want from their bass sound.
