The La Bella Super Polished bass strings have the punch of stainless steel but the smooth, buttery feel of flats. We begin the process by taking our round-wound stainless steel strings (designed with our flexible Olinto hex cores & gauges) and placing them on our factory-designed polishers, smoothing down the ridges commonly associated with round-wound strings.This polishing process far exceeds the feel of conventional and abrasive feeling “half rounds” or “ground wound” strings.The result is a unique tone that simmers between flats and rounds! The feel…buttery smooth!Polished Stainless Steel Round Wound Standard Tension String Gauges: .047, .068, .080, .107 Hex core for better intonation and to prevent string buzz Standard Long Scale Set: All strings are 37″ from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post (or else the string will break).These strings can be both top loaded and strung through the body of the bass. If stringing through the body, make sure the 37” wound length is long enough for through body stringing.Do not tug or pull on strings to break them in as they might break.Made in the USA with American Wire Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness

On my Lull 5 string. The tension is just right (for me). Not too light not too stiff. Punchy and articulate. Perfect blend of flat and round wound sound. My favs

These are their own thing. Have dabbled with other groundwound strings but these are a cut above. Pretty stiff similar to their flats. Under finger, there is a little bit of texture but not enough to introduce and appreciable finger noise on slides/ whilst moving around fretboard. That little bit of texture helps with stopping my slides right at the target fret - sometimes I slide a little sharp with flats since there's no resistance.these really shine with a pick. that little bit of texture adds such a nice scrape without being obnoxious and twangy like stainless rounds. also work well with distortion as they introduce a little bit more to work with for the pedal than you'd get with flats.I like these and will probably get another set when the time comes.

Bright like rounds, smooth like flats. The sizes are rather large but not enough to change my playing.

I wanted to try these out on my Jazz, but while installing the A string, tuning up to pitch, the ball end just popped off.. Never had that happen before. Sad day...

Got my bass setup, played for about an hour, and the A string broke. I did not pull on these strings (or stretch). It is unfortunate, b/c I believe I would really like these strings. I hope they get this issue resolved soon. Until it broke, I thought the strings sounded and felt good. They do have a decent amount of tension with them.

These are the absolute worst strings that I have ever bought. Putting the e string on and with the slightest tension snapped the core and starts unwinding. I always put LaBella above other brands but these were a disaster.

I never got to try these strings out. The ball end of the A string popped off before it was even tuned up.
