I put a set of Fender tapewounds onto my Gretsch acoustic/electric
bass last night and headed straight to an acoustic gig. I'd never
used tapewounds before and, while I wouldn't consider them for my
electric basses, they worked great on the acoustic. They helped
mellow the tone nicely and eliminate much of the fret click so
prevalent on A/E basses. They feel nice, too, and the black color
looks cool on the orange bass.

Getting off topic here...
I looked at the header and I thought it read "Just tried Tapeworms". lol!
Scared me for a second...
