Super Polished Bass Strings: The Best of Both Worlds

Attention, bass players: want the punch of roundwounds with the smooth feel of flats? Check out La Bella Super Polished bass strings. These strings start life as La Bella stainless steel rounds with the company’s flexible Olinto hex core, but here’s where it gets interesting. They are put through proprietary polishing machines that smooth out the ridges so completely that, judging by the buttery feel alone, you’d swear they were flats. But instead of a dull thud, the tone is lively and punchy — giving you the best of both worlds! If you’ve tried half-rounds but don’t like the abrasive feel, you should give La Bella Super Polished bass strings an audition. Bassists at Sweetwater are mightily impressed with them, and we think you will be, too.

La Bella Super Polished Bass Strings Features:

  • Stainless steel electric bass guitar strings, standard tension
  • Proprietary polishing process transforms roundwounds into super-smooth flats

  • Standard long-scale set: 37 in. from ball end to silk/taper

Reviews

2 bad strings in one pack
I received two bad strings right out of the package. First, after tuning the bass to pitch the D string had a dead type of tone and a weird vibration near the headstock of my instrument. 5 minutes after installing the strings the D string broke. I was upset and contacted the manufacturer for a replacement which they sent and received a week later. No big deal there. The second issue is the E string which is doing the same thing with the weird dead tone and vibration. It is not broken yet but it does not sound good. An instrument with a dead string is no good. I've since removed these from my bass because I can't trust the sound and quality of these strings to last one performance. I wouldn't want a string failure on stage.
On paper these seemed like a great idea I just think the quality assurance needs attention. With the cost of strings these days I'd recommend you stay away from these.
