Brands that make 40-120 gauge flatwounds?

My bad for not providing more context - I live in a country where that specific set isn't available locally or on domestic Amazon so I was looking for alternatives that might be.
It would be helpful if you could update your profile by filling in the "location" field so we can make recommendations based on where you're based.
 
Hmm, I probably wouldn't mind 'thumpy'; 'floppy' is what I'm a little wary of. I was also just thinking something along those lines - grab a light 4 string set and then a single low B. In that case, if I get the EB Extra Slinky Flatwounds (40-60-70-95) and a 125 low B (Rotosound), the price all works out to be the same as the LaBellas.
What i meant by thumpy, the LTF B string sounded like it was being palm muted even when it wasn’t, it didn’t sound like the rest of the set, unless you palm muted them all! Idk about floppiness, that’s apparently in the eye/ear/hands of the beholder! The .110 DTB flat works for me and sounds very consistent to the set, but I play lightly. Good luck!
