Smooth as silk

Leftyzorba 30.07.2022

Originally looking for tape wound or nylon coated strings for my 5string long scale bass, spotted these and noticed how inexpensive they were. They came and were easily fitted, they are perfect for long scale basses, trimmed approx 10 Cm from the ends and gave a very neat look to the headstock as red binding looks good.
Sound perfect, great on finger tips very smooth, great value for money.

Beautiful strings with beautiful sound

orava 21.12.2022

Very nice, very soft to touch, perfect for fretless bass.
The red ends give a very nice final touch.
I'm by no means a bass professional, but I'm very happy with these strings.

My first flatwounds.

Yngve66 29.12.2022

Bought a new jazz bass, so i wanted to try flatwounds on it.
Bought the cheapest i could find. It went very well.
The strings feel perfect. No flaws. Sounds good to.
So if they hold up in the long run, i will come back for more.
I have never played with expensive flats, so i don't know the difference.

Cheap but nice

Dac0908 30.09.2024

Never had flatwounds, and this seemed like an inexpensive way to try them. And it is. First couple of hours is getting used to the texture, different feel of glide and pressure, fingers "stick" to them fair bit more than on rounds, but seems like it gets less with use.

Completely different feeling and sound, I think these improved sound of the HB JP-550OP which has that motown-ish (Aria Detroit?) vibe anyway, but only now it is complete. Very positive experience, these will stay on it for a long time (they say flats last for years) and I will buy a jazz for other types of sound.

Packaging is nice with strings individually packed, and as a bonus, red silk ends on both sides give fancy looks :)

Unexpected Surprise

Gregory Daffin 07.05.2023

I was looking for inexpensive flatwounds for my practice bass. After experiencing the feel and tone of these strings, I now have the same on one of my main gig basses. Try them, you may be just as surprised.

Amazing!!

srp1srp2 15.11.2023

For years I’ve played La Bella strings. I took a chance on these & I was blown away at the quality & tone! I couldn’t put my bass down for hours! They feel and sound just as good as strings that cost much more! I’d bet that James Jamerson & Jerry Jemmott would use these strings! Great strings & I will indeed be buying more!
