They snapped whilst tuning, the La Bella’s didn’t …

Bought these flatwounds for my Harley Benton PB20 and La Bella flatwounds for my Sire V5 Jazz Bass. Sounded quite nice with lots of sustain, considering flats. However, they quickly needed a re-tune and whist doing that, two strings snapped. Not the first time I’d changed strings but think the PB20 tuners were not best quality and may have been a factor in some slipping of tuners and then snapping of the strings. Much better experience with La Bella and Sire combo. Gave a second star because not sure how much my fault, the tuners fault or the strings quality fault?! I wonder if these would have been ok on my Sire. Lesson learned? Don’t chance expensive strings on a budget bass!
