A "vintage" and mellow sound to lay down the groove
The GHS 3060-5 Tape Wound Medium are designed for bassists seeking a softer, warmer, and rounder tone than classic roundwound strings. Their tapewound construction helps achieve a mellow sound with subdued highs and a very pleasant feel under the fingers. An excellent choice for styles where low-end foundation and definition without harshness make the difference: soul, jazz, reggae, pop, accompaniment with pick or fingers.
