    I bought some Labellas online a couple years ago and the D just broke on the silk side.

    I think I paid $27.50 for the pack.

    I forgot where I ordered them from though.

    Anyone know where to get cheap Labellas?

    i think one of the major online string places sells single labell strings but with shipping it's nearly 15 buck

    I figured I may as well get the whole pack... considering cost.

    Are you saying these are rebranded LaBellas?

    Pretty sure you got them at Elderly, I remember having a conversation about that because I had just bought a set for nearly twice the price from Juststrings.

    Hey they are $40 dollars there - $27 at Elderly so no brainer and obviously Juststrings is robbing everyone if Elderly can sell them for $27 and make a profit. I never could understand why flats should cost more than any other strings.

    Carvin does indeed sell LaBella bass strings. For probably at least ten years (that's when I got into bass and they were then and they are now).
