New La Bella strings. WEIRD sound?

**Mark Wilson** · #1 01-11-2009, 08:07 PM

Alright, so I put La Bellas on my fretless. I use rounds, and these have the exposed core.

Anyway, I string it up, intonated it and everything, and I'm getting this WEIRD sound. It's like when I play, I get a bunch of overtones?

Any ideas what's causing this??

What kind of labellas did you buy? SuperSteps?

Ohh so it's not only me.

It's weird that this happens a lot...I wonder why? Maybe i'll e-mail the boys at La Bella

Good luck, to some of us they haven't been that helpful. It appears they work for a very small minority of players...

...and for the price, you'd think they'd practically make toast for you... Unfortunately not...
