Product Description
La Bella Has Over 400 Years of String Making Experience
The tradition of string making dates back to the 1640s in Salle, Italy, where the Mari family supplied gut strings to the famous violin builders of Cremona. In 1913, brothers Olinto & Emilio Mari arrived in New York bringing their family craft to the States. Over the years, the brothers shaped the landscape of the string industry with their innovative designs. Every set is manufactured using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string.
0760M-CB Deep Talkin' Bass, 1954 Style Stainless Steel Flat Wound, 6-String
The 0760M set was used on virtually every Motown gold record in the 1960s. Donald "Duck" Dunn used the same strings on countless recordings with Otis Redding and Booker T. & the MG's. They're the fullest and deepest sounding bass strings ever made.

Labella flats are the best I've ever played! The best word to describe them is slick. They feel slick and they sound slick. They've a warm, mellow, classic tone on my fender 5 string j bass. Worth every penny!

Cost was okay, tone was okay but eventually went with the low tension strings

Ich hatte lange D'addario Chromes auf verschiedenen Bässen, bis mir La Bella empfohlen wurden. Da bei den Chromes (ECB81)die E-Saite ein ganzes Stück weniger Spannung hat, entschied ich mich wegen der fetten E-Saite für diesen Satz. Die Saitenstärken wirken insgesamt ausgeglichener und das merkt man auch beim Spielen. Ich musste den Halsspannstab ein ganzes Stück nachstellen, hier sind doch ein paar Kilo mehr Zug auf dem Hals. Die Saiten sind schön stramm. Wer das nicht mag, nimmt lieber den nächst dünneren Satz. Toll finde ich dass sie viel glatter sind als die Chromes. Der Klang ist schon bei den frischen Saiten schön rund, mit noch etwas weniger Höhen als bei den Chromes. Klingt eben schön nach "Fump", was den Sound wohl am besten beschreibt.

These Strings made my Fav.. Bass The absolute worst . I himmed and hawwed about buying these strings.. Seeing how i dont have a any success growing a "Money Tree" Brightness just plain sucks.. These are MUD... These Strings completely changed my Tone.. No quick adjustment made me happy. Not to mention where the Strings overlapped themselves in its coil for packing.. Had very dark spots... Like metal rot had started. If you are wonding if its my rig ? I can assure its def not.. Ampeg Svt Pro 4 Eden cabs and Schecter 4 bass.. I had installed Erinie Ball Flat wounds on my other 4 string SGR w/Seymore Duncan P/Js and had much success in elimination of that occasional bright tone from my middle finger without any loss in tone and Punch. Labella's Sound and Tone just isnt for me. Some of you may achieve happiness with These for the Style of Music your playing. Def not for Metal and I cant even imagine these used in other genres. Just 2 F/Dull. Playing was like wriiting your name with the Dullest pencil you have ever used. The cool thing about these is .. The Micro sized numbered Dices that came on the Strings to Idiot proof installation. Arg !!! And No they didnt add anymore low end. They where so muddy I had to Dial down the low end. Unfortunately Labella didnt impress me and I wont ever Buy this brand again. I have had my best Sounds Using Ernie Balls and D'addarios. My next try is The RotoSounds Steve Harris strings. Unfortunately I can't take a pic to show you Due to the strings over all Stainless Shimmer and low buck Camera in this phone.If you Own a $5g Frettless bass with Super Hot pick ups.. You will probably have a difference of opinion.

First time with the '54 set - heavier than what I'm used to but no problem getting used to them. I did have to shim my neck a fraction to set my bass up, but now action is low. I really like the strings, I have lighter gauge on other basses. If you're not sure like I was, I say go for it. Old school thump. Add a bit of muting and you'll have a unique sounding bass.

I’ve used these over the years off and on. I usually use the lightest gauge 760’s , but I picked up a ‘57 reissue p bass and decided to give them a try once again. The trick to these (and it’s critical) is to have your truss rod adjusted so that the neck is flat, then lower the action ( or shim neck) so that they sit pretty close to the fingerboard- not too low, but definitely don’t allow the tension of these to dictate what the setup is-YOU decide that. Otherwise things can get out of hand pretty quickly with these and you’ll have neck issues. Once set up properly, these give a really solid pleasing sound, and very even output.

Are they heavy? Yes. Will you have to do a new setup on your bass to run these? Sure. But that's not a big deal. Or take it to a shop if you don't want to do it yourself.I love the high tension of them. I love the feedback they give you. I find that with these I can play both faster and with more feel. With floppy strings it's like I never know quite when my plucking hand is going to break over the string. With these having much less give I know, and it lets me play better and with more confidence.I've tried the other 760s (FLs, FSs, etc.). They were all great. But none of them quite had the sound and feel that these do. If you are thinking of trying them then by all means go for it.

Ideal with my Japanese Fender Precision Bass. Superb tension - possibly a little more rigid feeling than Chromes or Fender’s flats. Really great tone - a little more top end than I was expecting initially. They are playing in beautifully too. Had compliments on the tone from a couple of engineers too.They’re the most I’ve ever spent on strings, but they’re most definitely worth it if you are into flatwounds and want a set that will last you forever.

I inherited an '84 P-bass and looked at it as an opportunity to set up in James Jamerson style somewhat. Given the extra tension, nut variances, and the fact that the old bass needed a setup anyway, I just took bass and strings to my setup guy and turned him loose. A week later I picked it up and it looks and plays great. Recently bought a Fender Stage 800 and the thing sounds fantastic thru that amp with pick or fingers. With a pick I guess it's like Carol Kaye and with a finger it's like JJ. I have also used it on a couple of recordings and it really does have that classic sound.My regular gig bass is a Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass. It's light and with D'Addario medium rounds, quite easy to hold and play all night, and versatile enough to get the variety of sounds I need playing in cover bands. The P-bass with these heavy flats has one classic sound - it's a great sound, but that's it. And it is much harder to play - it might hurt your hands somewhat. I played a 3.5 hour show the other night with it and have had some pain. So I may use it occasionally, but it won't be my first bass. But these strings sure get the sound right IMHO.

These LaBella 'Jamerson' flats can NOT be beat for fundamental tone. Make no mistake this is slap you upside the head bass in yo face. Deep, pure bass tone unmatched by any other set of LaBella flats. Note: Highest tension of all flats! Your fingers WILL get a work out. If you have arthritis in your hands as I do these strings will aggravate it. Drop to DGCF tuning and they are noticeably more playable. I've had these Ms, the FMs, the FS, and finally switched to LaBella FLs, my favorite. I like standard tuning. Younger hands can handle it, mine unfortunately can not. If you want Motown thump baby these are your strings.

Voici certainement - avec les Rotosound popularisées par John Entwisthle des Who - les cordes de basse les plus emblématiques de l'histoire de la musique populaire anglo-saxonne. C'est en effet ces Deep Talkin' Bass 0760 à filet plat qu'a utilisé exclusivement James Jamerson, le mythique bassiste de la Motown, sur une quantité incroyable de hits des sixties et seventies, de Shotgun à What's Going On.Des cordes réputées pour leur son lourd et pêchu, tout en rondeur dynamique. A utiliser idéalement sur un Precision Bass vintage, mais qui donnent aussi d'excellent résultat sur n'importe quelle basse "classique", qu'elle soit ou non fretless.Ces Labella ont un touché super agréable, glissent très bien sous les doigts et ont la particularité de se "bonifier" avec le temps. Entendez par là qu'elles délivrent le meilleur d'elle-même au bout de plusieurs semaines de jeu intensif, pour ensuite maintenir leurs qualités pendant des années.Pour l'anecdote, James Jamerson n'a JAMAIS changé ses cordes de basse. Il estimait au contraire que la crasse accumulée par les années contribuait à leur "funk".Et il n'était pas le seul à considérer ces La Bella comme les meilleures cordes de basse. Ainsi, le légendaire Donald "Duck" Dunn des studios Stax, accompagnateur entre autres des Blues Brothers et Otis Redding, les adorait également.Alors, si vous cherchez à émuler le son des enregistrements des maîtres ès 4 cordes du siècle dernier, vous savez déjà quelles cordes choisir...
