| I recently bought a set of La Bella quarter rounds and have tried them on a number of my basses. I have always dug Jerry Jemmott's tone with B.B. King and King Curtis and wanted to try out the strings that I think he had used. The first thing that I noticed after stringing up my Jazz bass was the rather rough feeling outer wrap. To me, the edges left from shaving down the outer wrap are course and uncomfortable for extended play (then again, I mainly use flats). I used them on a new American Standard P during a recent recording session with great results. The Producer and the artist were very happy and really dug the tone. I just don't enjoy the texture of the strings and swapped them out after the session was finished. The positive aspects of the strings (to me) are, very even string to string tension and volume. The tension is on the higher side but completely manageable. Also, the strings intonated exceptionally well on every bass i tried them on. I could hear on the playback that my instrument was in tune throughout it's entire range (especially chords). I'm keeping them around and maybe purchasing another set later but they won't be my main string. |
