D’Addario is excited to announce the newest additions to their string product line. The Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings, Flatwound Mandolin Strings and Stainless Steel Banjo Strings are eloquently crafted from the finest materials, giving them long-lasting life and unrivaled tone.
The Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings are designed to produce a deep, warm tone while providing a smooth, comfortable feel. D’Addario Tapewound Bass strings are wound using a flattened black nylon which is polished to an ultra-smooth finish. These long-lasting, well-balanced strings are expertly engineered to provide optimal tension and are gauged to fit properly on standard bass saddles and nuts. Tapewounds may be used on fretted or fretless basses and are designed to deliver a vintage tone ranging from the “thump” of an upright bass to the focused depth of traditional flatwound strings.
The Flatwound Mandolin strings are constructed using a complex combination of interlocking underwindings on a hex core, which builds the foundation for a delicate outer flat (ribbon) winding. This unique design allows the strings to vibrate freely, creating a true, clear sound and an ultra-smooth feel. Created for jazz, classical and folk players, they deliver unparalleled comfort for playing closed position fingerings and up the fretboard.
The Stainless Steel Banjo Strings were developed in conjunction with some of the finest banjo players in the world. After extensive research, D’Addario has determined the optimal core to wrap ratio for proper tension. They are designed to be extremely long lasting and contain a stainless steel 4th, which has become a standard for today’s most admirable banjo manufacturers. Each set delivers a bright, clear tone with pure sustain.
“We are very pleased with the overall outcome of the new Nylon Tapewound Bass, Flatwound Mandolin, and Stainless Steel Banjo string sets,” says D’Addario Product Management Manager, Brian Vance. “These sets broaden the versatility and tones that players currently strive for across the board.”
The Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings will retail for $62.99; Flatwound Mandolin Strings will retail for $29.99, and Stainless Steel Banjo Strings will retail for $6.99. All of these new D’Addario string sets are available now.

Bass Musician Magazine, a Virtual Bass Magazine Designed For Bass Players and Bass Professionals, is unlike any other as far as content is concerned. We feature a world class staff of diverse and extremely experienced bass players in their own field, covering not just the more or less "how to" approach, but looking into the methodology and personal experiences these players have to offer as well to gain insight on what we hope to make the focal point of this magazine, that being, becoming a better "musician".
Bass Musician Magazine features articles on the most influential players (known and unknown) of the day. Our regular columns cover a vast amount of musical territory with a diverse look at any and all pertinent info that will aid what we feel should be the main focus of any aspiring bassist, finding "your own voice".
We also present an unprecedented audio and video architecture within our virtual pages. We blend the "You Tube" experience with the educational process to better enhance your musical awareness and growth.
We feature "up and coming" players. Through our own experience with MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, we have seen, heard and connected with some truly talented players and we will do our best to bring these unknown talents to the forefront and give them the exposure they deserve.
As far as Bass Musician Magazine reviews are concerned, whether it is CD's, DVD's, books, or musical gear, we will take the time to prescreen for our readers whatever has been presented to us, and review only what in our opinion is a viable option for our readers to consider, so it becomes not just a "review" we're offering, but a "recommendation" as well in hopes of guiding our audience to some alternatives they may or may not have known about that we feel deserves attention.
As Bass Musician Magazine continues to develop, we welcome any comments you may have, and look forward to bringing together the "world wide" bass community.Related posts:
