String Up Your Mustang Bass

La Bella’s premium Stang bass strings keep your vintage Fender Mustang sounding and playing its best, eliminating the guesswork presented by the through-body design with added length tailored to vintage Mustang specs. However, La Bella took things a step further, offering these specially designed strings in various materials and designs, all with a flexible 1.75-inch tail wrap to protect the body and optimize string tension. Many Sweetwater bassists testify to the allure of a vintage Fender Mustang — La Bella Stangs not only retain vintage tone but also inject modern customization, flair, and durability. Each set offers unique tonal and aesthetic characteristics with a variety of materials to suit your preferences. Customize your vintage Mustang without sacrificing classic tone with La Bella Stang bass strings.

Strings that match your style

  • Pure Nickel Rounds: Vintage tone with a warm frequency and responsive feel
  • Stainless Steel Flats: Proprietary ribbon that's bright, responsive, and smooth
  • Super Polished: A hybrid design with a punchy tone and smooth feel
  • Gold Flats: Tonally bold with a strong mid response and a striking aesthetic
  • Black Nylon Tapes: Smooth nylon-wrapped strings with a warm, organic tone

La Bella: centuries of expertise in each set of strings

La Bella strings are the top choice for musicians ranging from world-famous artists such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter to everyday players like many of us here at Sweetwater. The company’s heritage reaches back to the Mari family of Salle, Italy, in the 17th century, and they became famous throughout Europe, even supplying violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. In the early 20th century, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved the string operation to New York, founding the modern La Bella company. Today, La Bella strings are considered among the finest in the world, and we think you'll agree when you hear what they can do for your favorite instrument.

Reviews

smooth, rich
These are made for string-through instruments. Strings are very smooth to the touch,pleasant. They have a rich and warm sound without the "piano twang" of rounds. The ball and tuner ends are wrapped in purple silk (cool). The side-effect is no metal touches the tuners or bridge, and your fingers don't touch the metal string, so there is some grounding loss. In my case, a slight buzz unless I touch a grounded component with thumb. This wasn't apparent on rounds or flats because they are metal, contact the bridge, and so the resting fingers did the job naturally. Just something I hadn't considered when trying these.
LaBella Mustang tapes, bueno bueno
I've got a Fender JMJ Mustang bass….it's a really good bass, and now that I've put a set of LaBella 760N-MUStang black nylon Tapes on it, it's become a great bass for me. The strings seem to be lighter gauge than the flatwounds that had been on it previously. The flats yielded a thicker tone, but the tapes play easier while maintaining a deep, satisfying tone. Truly, both the La Bella flats and the LaBella Mustang Tapes are excellent, but I'm glad I put these tapes on my JMJ. Shout out to Charlie Kim @ Sweetwater for his help with my purchases.
