La Bella String Help

[ODDBALL]

I am thinking of putting a set of these on my Lakland 55-02. I have never used these before. I’m looking for a nice full round tone with minimal clank and finger noise.

Can anyone break down the different types of strings offered by La Bella?

Thanks
Shaun

It would be a long breakdown.

I have them on a bunch of my basses, this is the set I use.
You may have to change raise your action if you have yours set low so the strings don't clank, I found out the more you play them, the better they sound. I have a set on my old Danelectro that's 12 years old and they still sound great. No finger noise and those strings sound nice and thumpy. Try a set, they're geat.

I have been considering purchasing La Bella strings, but have questions also-

How do the Deep Talkin' Bass compare to the Low Tension Flats compare to Chromes?

I've had the same set of Chromes on my bass for almost 5 years, and I like them, but...

So Funny! I use DTB (above) on a couple basses. I like them. But I am 100% guilty of grabbing them because there are some 70 skazillion varieties and nobody has time to figure all that out so I just took a chance based on description and they stuck. Supple, nice tone. Not much clack.

About Chromes, they are bright and have a nice feel too but higher tension so they feel quite a bit different. I like Chromes too but compared to LB they are a little stiffer. I have them on a bass too. They are lively but take a little more effort to pluck the goodness outta them.

The Labella LTF's are super smooth and are well balanced tone wise. Tension is awesome a lot less than Chromes but not as low as TI's.

Are the TapeWound strings stainless or Nickel? Also are they rounds or flats under the coating? Has anyone had any issues with the coating?

I imagine they are stainless steel. And round wounds underneath the nylon tape. The only manufacturer I know who uses flats under the nylon is GHS ( the G is RW under tape ).

How do you guys like the White Nylon’s?
