THE flatwound strings!

Andy66 19.09.2013

Sound:
Balanced tension is a funny thing if you've never met it before but each string feels alike and this enables you to play with greater consistency!

Their sound is typically 'flats' in that it has a good fundamental thump but they don't lack clarity or top end either, a good rounded sound but with none of that roundwound snap/sizzle.

Quality:
I always find the mark of a good string is that when you first unwind it it hangs perfectly straight, no disappointment here! Easy to install and nice & stable tuning from the off!

Each string feels very consistent with no lumps or bumps and tension is as even as they claim!

Conclusions:
If you're looking for flatwounds of medium to low tension then these are superb and they sound exactly right!

A big disappointment

DK83 19.05.2025

After playing flats from several different brands for nearly two decades I finally bought a set of LaBella's. I play mostly funk, soul and older rock so I thought these would a perfect fit to my P-Bass. Well, they weren't.

The D- and G-strings sound really good and have never caused any issues. The same can't be said about strings E and A. The sound and sustain is duller on the A string, but at least it stays in tune. The E string is a complete mess. I've never been able to get it to stay in tune properly and after a few months of playing it sounds and looks like it's beginning to fall apart. And soundwise it is the dullest of them all.

I first thought it was the nut that was causing this issue. I changed the nut twice, but the same issue remains. I tried putting back the old (several years old) Ernie Ball flats, and... no issues whatsoever. I've also tried adjusting the truss rod and bridge to hell and back, but really, it's the string that's messed up.

So maybe I got a bad set of strings, but for 49€ (at the moment of review 59€) I expected better. For roughly the same price (or even less) you have better alternatives available like Ernie Ball and D'Addario.

Old-school tone for days

Uros86 16.08.2021

For old-school flats tone, these are great strings. To me, they sound good right out of the box. Of course with time they loose high-end and become even darker and thumpier. Perfect for Motown P-bass.

I eventually replaced them however, with Dunlop Stanless Steel Flatwounds. The Dunlops sound just about the same, especially when they are broken in, but are slightly less rigid and easier on the fretting hand. The Dunlops are now on the bass, and LaBellas in the drawer, for backup. This is only personal preference though, and the difference is really minor. I still highly recommend these LaBellas.

Simply the best

Eslars 18.02.2022

Imo the best flats there is. Tried Thomastik, Fender and Rotosound, but La Bella are simply my kind of flats. Smooth, great sounding, balanced and great quality.
