Silky-smooth Feel and Midrange-rich Tone

Add La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass Gold Flats to your electric bass guitar for amazing midrange punch. These hand-wound strings are created from a proprietary golden alloy that is softer to the touch than stainless steel and are hand-polished for one of the smoothest playing experiences you'll ever have. You'll notice the attack is slightly more prominent than with typical flatwound strings, making them a great choice for recording sessions. For huge, midrange-rich bass tone, exceptionally smooth feel, and long-term reliability, Sweetwater can highly recommend La Bella's Deep Talkin' Bass Gold Flats.

This is a 6-string set and is not suitable for basses that string through the body. Included gauges are .029, .045, .065, .085, .105, and .128.

Reviews

Gold alloy strings?
I purchased a new 6 string bass and didn't like the strings that came on it. I purchased a set of La Bella Gold Flats and I'm a very happy camper! They feel like butter and sound fantastic! What more can I say, it's all good!
Music background: 40+ years playing bass
World Class Vintage Modern Bass Tone!
These strings are unmatchable!
Usually one would get a pack of stainless steel flat-wounds and realize that they sound dull like a three month old pair of jazzy round-wounds!

This is not the case with the La Bella Deep Talkin' 128.'s
La Bella's Deep Talkin' Gold Strings all starts with the mirror-like reflective aura of the 24k gold flat ribbon-winding providing a bright controlled brassy character. The luxurious silk texture is smooth to the touch while staying very engaging.

The world class stainless steel core keeps string tension peerless while overall action stays low and even with a tapered 128. B string

The exceptional tonal bandwidth can be shaped with ease starting with a silky midrange punch ending in piano-like over tones

Ideal fretted and fret less instruments.

Amazing
Great strings, comfortable to play with a deep smooth sound - lots of fundamental, but very good definition and clarity at the same time. They match my 50-yr old P-Bass perfectly.
Music background: Jazz
Great feel and tension. Good tone. Unique looks.
I purchased these for a 6 string fretless and the options for flatwounds were somewhat limited. Tape wound would have been too mellow for what I was going for. I"m really happy with the La Bellas and I"m trying some of their strings on other instruments I own.

The single wrap on the .128 near the ferrule really helps the sustain. The wraps are also quite narrow making these more flexible than the DR Legends I have on one of my fretted 4 strings. The full wrap ends just past the nut on my long scale 6 so no chance of this working on a multi-scale bass, unfortunately. These would be just about perfect if they offered them in more configurations. They are clearly hand wound so it might be as easy as just calling them up.

The tone of these strings made me immidiately think of Les Claypool"s fretless 6. Which is good because I"m trying to learn Jerry Was A Race Car Driver and having similar tone makes it easier to tell when your intonation is off from the recording.

Plus the gold color looks cool.
Music background: Casual player
Good but short
The strings feel great, but two of the strings (B & E) are somewhat short. Fortunately, my Bass has a Zero Fret and those two strings do touch. Hopefully, they'll stretch over time.
