I agree the 760FL's are the right choice. The tension is just right and they're really nicely polished and smooth.

Already have a number just showing off Blanche with her new strap, labellas, and covers. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Well I've got a set of 760FS on order from juststrings now. Sounds like the right choice for me over chromes :D

I'm thinking of putting some labella flats on my new P, but I'm used to the 45-100 chromes. I've heard that the 760FS labellas are higher tension than the chromes. Would I notice this difference or should I go with the 760FL which I've heard would be more similar tension to the chromes?

I don't expect to get the exact sound of a Rickenbacker from a 300$ bass, I was more asking what strings etc. would bring me close to that sound. I think McCartney used flatwounds on his Ric? That might have only been the Hofner though.

Hi, I'm a drummer that's looking to get into playing bass. I've been looking at the Epiphone LP Special Bass on Muscians friend and I think it's the one I'll be buying. I love the tone from Paul McCartney's Ric 4001 so what would be the most important things that would bring me close to that...
