Bright Highs, Deep Lows, Amazing Comfort

Your fingers will absolutely love La Bella's Rx Stainless bass strings. These roundwound bass strings deliver the bright highs and fat lows you'd expect from stainless steel, but it's the way they feel that sets these unique strings apart. The construction process behind Rx Stainless strings offers the same standard gauges as other La Bella sets, but with overall lower tension. Combined with their added flexibility, this lighter tension lets you play with a softer touch, allowing you to play faster and longer without wearing out your fingers.

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 seventeenth century, and they became famous throughout Europe, even supplying violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. In the early twentieth 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.

La Bella Rx Stainless Bass Strings Features:
  • A .045-.130 bass 5-string set that's designed for balanced tone and playing feel
  • Unique low-tension design offers a lighter and more flexible feel than standard strings
  • Stainless steel roundwound construction delivers bright highs and thunderous lows
  • Standard long scale length measures 37" from ball end to silk ends
  • Ships in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to prevent tarnishing and aging
Enjoy the comfort and clear sound of La Bella Rx Stainless bass strings!

They're Really Good

I've been using these strings for a little over a year now. At first they were rough on the fingers, but that's not necassarily a downside. The strings never really go 'dead'. They have a really wonderful tone throughout their life.

I used to use ProSteel's before this and these are so much better with balance and tension. Also last forever too. Happy to now use RX stainless as my go-to strings

Love These Strings

The La Bella RX series are some of the best bass strings on the market. I've used both nickel and stainless steel. They are long-lasting and they feel amazing. The set I have my bass now have lasted me 4+ months, and they still feel and sound great (I play just about every day). The description doesn't say, but the core is a hex core. It helps prevent buzzing, but it also gives the strings more of a bite compared to round core strings. Really tasteful when digging in.
