La Bella LTF-5A Low T. Flex Flat 042/118

Great strings

Für meinen Bass 5 String Warwick Rockbass passiv mit Single Coils und meine Bedürfnisse ideal. Weich im Anschlag, sanft im Ton mit einer definierten Stimme aber nicht schlapp oder gar müde. Genau, was ich gesucht habe.

Should have known about the strings earlier. I love the strings, going to order more for my other three bass guitars.t Make my bass sounds awesome. Nice and smooth. Don’t hurt finger tips.

Installed strings on my PBASS. Incredible performance

I needed to switch from Roto round-wounds, which I had used for decades, to flat-wounds to try to get less wear on a natural ebony fretboard. I have a custom, five-string fretless with fantastic electronics that runs through an Ampeg/Hartke rig. I loved the sound of the Rotos, so this was a decision forced upon me. I tried La Bella round-wounds first before moving on to the flat-wound sets. Those La Bellas positively roared. I tried a different set of flat-wounds, but they were so stiff and tense as to be nearly unplayable. I decided to give the La Bella low-tension strings a try. I am now entering on my fourth decade as a bassist, and low-tension flats allow me to pull off those beautiful sixteenth patterns with less wear-and-tear on my aging joints which is a problem that has grown intense in the last ten years. Between these for my fretless and Roto’s FunkMaster set for the fretted, the physical effort is manageable, while the tone through my pro-level gear is as good or better than what I used before changing over. These are a little bit pricey, and I could do with even lighter tension, but these are definitely an upgrade in both tone and playability.

My favorite strings! I have had lots of comments about how good they sound. Even had interest from a music store owner/bass player after he tried mine out. Unless something better comes along these will be my go to strings..
