Many months ago I tried a set of the Galli black nylon coated bass uke strings. I thought they would be like standard nylon coated bass strings, but found that they had a very thin black coating and the round wound feeling that I don't want was too prominent. Recently I bought a solid body bass uke from China that is all black, so I decided to order a set of the Galli nylon coated black and let go a little of my dislike of round wound. I'm also going to replace the wood bridge and ceramic piezo pickup assembly with a black metal fully adjustable piezo bridge.
