[Zarathustra3]

I will be all over these strings. I currently use their gold tapewound and love them.

"growly midrange tone" drool

Will there be a set to fit Dingwalls?

From what I understand the initial offerings will not. The only flats from La Bella that will fit a "Dingwall" with a 37" B-string are ones I had made. It would need to be something similar to that. If I see enough demand I can make it happen.

I'm curious to see how they tarnish over time. I wonder how you clean them?

 

[ScarfFace]

Labella is really doing some exciting, different things lately. If it's Labella, you know it's gonna be quality product. Kudos to them for keeping it real while moving forward and kudos to Jason for the heads up! Really looking forward to trying these.

Agreed! LB has been my go to (black tapes) for decades. Now I'm loving the whites, copper, gold series A LOT. Always consistent. I only play fretless so these may be in the cards too.

Thanks Jason - bassstringsonline has been providing me for quite soon time now.

La Bella has new flats in the pipeline! These are expected to be officially announced at the 2017 NAMM show in January.

La Bella Golden Alloy strings are a 80/20 Bronze flat wound. This alloy produces a flat wound with a growly midrange tone. This alloy is also softer to the touch and easier on frets than a stainless flat ribbon. This combined with La Bella's super smooth polishing is going to make a beautiful string.

The look is stunning. They pop on sunburst finishes, natural finishes, and bring out the gold on basses with gold hardware.

This material does tarnish but it is cleanable. I actually look forward to seeing them get darker in color.

The photo attached is a prototype set... The actual silk color is expected to change.

Those would look cool on my Black n Gold bass.

Now I need to buy a P-bass and a tort guard for these flats.

 

[PWRL]

Color me interested. Now I'll have to swap out all the hardware on my P bass for gold.

Now I need to buy a P-bass and a tort guard for these flats.

I was thinking the same thing! I need to buy a bass to match the strings!

 

[Owen Bacon]

Woah The moment you said growly I was there. Maybe a paul Jackson tone? I might have to put off getting sadowskys and wait for these.

 

[GIBrat51]

Those would be the stuff, on my Alembic...

 

[Grumpynuts]

I love my 0760m's just concerned about skin reaction to the gold. although the resulting tarnish could create a thumpier sound i would imagine.

Combine that with the potentially brighter mids and we could have something special

Mmmm...Golden Alloy flats! Should look good on my honey blonde Precision.
