The La Bella 760N-B-XL black nylon tape wound bass strings are a 5-string standard gauge set designed for extra long scale basses (35-36 inches). Extra long scale 5-string instruments demand strings with adequate length for proper winding coverage, and La Bella ensures these fit correctly with plenty of material from bridge to tuning post.

Black nylon tape winding produces a warm, dark, slightly midrange-focused tone that's different from the brighter white tape wound sets. The smooth surface makes fast playing feel effortless and eliminates the finger squeak that can plague roundwound strings. For extended-scale fretless 5-string players, these strings are a dream, offering singing sustain and a rich mwah quality. Handcrafted in La Bella's Queens, New York facility, the 760N-B-XL fills a very specific need for players who won't compromise on string length or tape wound quality.
