Cheap Labella Flats?

Sign in to disble this ad
I bought some Labellas online a couple years ago and the D just broke on the silk side.

I think I paid $27.50 for the pack.

I forgot where I ordered them from though.

Anyone know where to get cheap Labellas?

I figured I may as well get the whole pack... considering cost.

Are you saying these are rebranded LaBellas?

Maybe you got them at Elderly?

Not sure which set you were looking for, but $27 there.

Good luck,
Bill

Pretty sure you got them at Elderly, I remember having a conversation about that because I had just bought a set for nearly twice the price from Juststrings.

Carvin does indeed sell LaBella bass strings. For probably at least ten years (that's when I got into bass and they were then and they are now).
