Labella LTFs on a Rickenbacker

I haven't personally, but the gauges are similar to the OEM Maxima flats of the '60's, so they should be great.

 

One reason LB came out with the LTF's was to compete with TI. They even had exactly the same gauges when first introduced, and players complained that, like the TI's, the A string was too floppy. So LB changed the 70 to a 75 and made the LTF's a much better set.

 

I put them on my ‘77. Love them, deep full tone. Tension is awesome, no adjustment needed ymmv

 

Just to clarify...
The reason La Bella changed the 70A to 75A was people were complaining it was too thin for a standard nut slot, causing buzzing issues, not because it was too floppy like the TI 70A.

 

I have them on four different basses, just a damn decent set of strings

 

In any event, the reason it was buzzing in the slot was because it was too light, which the TI is also definitely too light, and I can't understand the arrogance of the company not changing to keep up with the 21st century.
