CV P with HWY 1 black pickguard fender bridge cover. now La Bella Deep Talkin' BASS stainless steel flatwound 760FM .049 .069 .089 .109 on this bass sits so right! I love these strings with this bass! Chromes are just too bright right out the bag & they are really slippery these La Bella's are have just a little bit more grip then chromes plus have a super deep tight low end LOVE IT!

No other flats that I've tried have the 'authority' of the LaBellas. They're deep, but with lower/mid-range drive as well. I just can't imagine a better flatwound string for my P Basses  .
Thomastik flats, by way of contrast, are an abomination to my ear, whatever bass I've tried them on  .
Just my $0.02

They have more mids, more of a rounder sound, and less "clank" than Chromes. I have heard more than one person put them on a P-bass and say it's the "tone in their head".

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: norwich, ct | | | Beautiful Bass and great strings. I'm playing the 760m Jamerson set right now, after having the 760fm set. Love both, really the Jamerson's just have more tension. If you you can believe it is possible over the 760FM set ! Enjoy!! |

I have them on just about all of my basses. Even my EBMM Sub 4!! 
I have a set of 760FM's on my Gibson SG, they have enough tension to let me go to drop D on a short scale with no floppiness!! 
Now that I can get medium scale Labella's I am going to pull the Chromes off my 32" Jazz and put a set on it too

| | | | Couldn't agree more. These are my favorite strings by far. I even put a set on my Epiphone EB-3.

On my Squier Bronco, Gretsch 2202 and '64 Gibson EB-0, I believe I am using the 760FL-S (short scale, .043-.104) set.

Those have been my favorite flats for years...the heavier gauge is a bit harder to muscle, but the tone and mass make it worth the extra effort! Best flats I've tried by a mile...not that I've tried them all

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Brooklyn, NY | | | also totally agree. I have 760FMs on two old P basses, one tuned down a step which I love. and two other short scale basses, a mustang and a harmony hollow body, get the 760FLs. years later and I've never had a reason to switch it up. seems like I only have to change them every year or two, as well.
I met Eric, one of the owners I believe, at a small guitar show this year and found out they're a small family run company in Newburgh, NY. made me even happier to be using their strings. viva labella! |
