LaBella White Nylon Tape Wounds

[T28]

Reading the hype on these.... they give you an almost round wound sound with the treble up and a flatwound sound with the treble down.

OK....I'm willing to bite.

The lgt/med sets run .050 .065 .085 .105

Should these be fine on a v63 without having to do any nut modifications?

Also, anyone have any experience with these on their Rics?

I've bought 2 sets so far,got the lighter gauge each time.(perfect!,and no need to recut the nut) Neither of the sets went on any of my Ricks,though. They are wonderfully smooth and have a great tone,whether you want to emphasize the thump or the crystalline clank. I used them on my 4 string Rimini,and my Carvin ac50,so that's 2 semihollow designs with humbuckers on the Italia,and a piezo system on the Carvin,and they were fab on both.They're very different to the regular black Labella tapes,too. I am probably going to buy another set for my Ac40 fretless,since I have sold the other 2 basses.

Sounds like these would go well on my acoustic-electric Fender Precision fretless. It's made in Japan around 1990, has a Lace Sensor P pickup and a piezo. Up till now I've been using their nylon filament bass strings, happy for the most part.
