*** la bella!?

Well I took my strings back to the shop where I purchased them (the BassExchange/Ampshop) and we compared the broken string to another LaBella 760FS and sure enough the one I recieved was indeed 1 inch longer than it should have been. They exchanged it for me no problem.

I went in there for my strings and ended up walking out with a new VT Bass pedal, and GAS for a Lakland Decade!
 
That's bizarre. Sounds like a problem from the manufacturer. Too late now, but you probably should have hunted down a contact and asked for a correct replacement.

I doubt he would've gotten a replacement. I've never had luck with LaBella and crappy strings, which is why I don't buy them anymore.

It bites when you email the company, never get a replacement string (which was all I asked for) when they say they will, and have all other emails ignored. Phones? Bah... They never answer them either.

in retrospect i probably should have tried to contact the ebay store i got them off of.
