Deep and Full Vintage Flatwound Tone

La Bella's Flatwound Deep Talkin' Bass strings became a top choice for professional bass players way back in the 1950s, and their popularity has never flagged. Made from hand-polished stainless steel, these flatwound bass strings deliver a profoundly deep and vibrant tone with all the sustain you could ask for, and they retain their tone well after standard flatwounds have gone dead. No strings on the market play as smooth on a standard electric bass, and they feel absolutely luxurious on a fretless. If you're in the market for superior flatwound strings, La Bella's Flatwound Deep Talkin' Bass strings are it.

Centuries of expertise in each set of La Bella 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. Their 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.

These strings are the best - they feel great, are responsive and last a very very long time.

La Bella 760FS-B-TB Deep Talkin' Bass Flatwound Bass Guitar Strings - .045-.128 Standard Through Body 5-string

Used on a Lakland USA Classic 55-64 PJ Bass
Strings E-G are fabulous sounding, stay in tune very well, and are an absolute joy to play.
However, the B-String was 1/8 inch too short, in the thru-base configuration they were designed for,
so the wound part of the wire does not quite meet the nut.
Still plays nice, but makes it very hard to tune the B-string, with a vibration-based tuner, like the Snark....
Overall, the sound/vibe is perfect for old blues, old rock, imitating an upright bass, and modern Evangelical church music.
Music background: Blues Bassist
Rated 4/5

B-string too short

Very nice strings. B-string would not work with my G&L L2500. Too short for through body, Too much thread on ball end to string through the bridge. Frustrating. So now I've ordered and extra long set just for the B-string and I'll use the others on P bass.
