Bubby Lewis La Bella colored tapewound strings

Bubby Lewis has posted a few of these La Bella strings that appear to be tapewound with unique colors but I haven't found any information if these are commercially available or not.

Here's his original post and it looks like from La Bella they also shared these strings without any detail if they are for sale. Anyone know about these and if they are something in the works? Seems like these have been mentioned a few times in the past but no replies how to buy them.

I am looking for RED TAPE WOUND bass strings in a medium or heavy guage. I tried a set of Red Devil round wounds and I loved the color but hated the twang. Are sny available in 2025?

Your only options, to the best of my knowledge, are as follows:

1)- Strings by Aurora
Bass Strings – AuroraStrings
They're coated, not tapewound, and you might find them just as twangy as DR Red Devils. Then again, you might like them more.

2)- Cuerdas Eclipse

These are exactly what you want (red nylon tapewounds), but you'd have to order them from Mexico.
(Here's the company email, should you find problems with Mercado Libre.)

3)- Lemma Sound

out of Argentina used to offer multicoloured tapes. You might try and see if they still have some red tape (heh) left to make you a custom set:
