Please help, I need a single string, LaBella White Nylon .050

[Viktor_K]

For my High C tuning I need a single string, LaBella White Nylon .050. (I am using their 760T set in .060-.115).

I was able to locate a single .043 Golden Nylon, but it sounds thin and lifeless. Anybody has an incomplete set, perhaps?

I guess, around $10 plus letter postage is reasonable?

Thanks in advance.

Did you check the LaBella site?

I looked all over for a single DTF E string a few weeks ago to no avail - then I went to their site.
The price for a single string was super reasonable. A set of strings were the same price as everyone else so I ordered a set.
Had to pay a little shipping, but it was the price for a single string plus the shipping charge is less than what I would have expected to pay for just a single...

You'll have to look yourself to see if they have your single, and if you can't find one, try emailing them. Their customer service is great.

I wrote to LaBella, no response. And they don't have single strings for sale, at least not that I found.

You can try a couple of my usual online dealers.

Strings By Mail... Email Matt at [email protected] and tell him what you need.
Fret Nation... Email Jason at [email protected] and tell him what you need.

When I need singles and custom sets, I always go through one of the above two. Good luck.

will try, thank you

Using the 050 (product number 761T), which is the G string from the light-gauge 750T set, as a high C means it will be significantly high-tension.
One thing you could do is get the 750T-B set (light-gauge 5-string), use the G as a C as planned, and the rest of the set on another bass, tuned to D, Db, C or B standard, for the occasional downtuning needs.

This seems awfully wasteful, I don't really have a need for such low tunings.

I know they use a 043 in their 6 string set for the high C, but it seems lifeless. In the videos too, the .043 high C sounds like a guitar string rather than bass. I was concerned about tension, but even more concerned about the fullness of tone and a clear fundamental.

I mean, mathematically it seems if EADG is 115-85-70-60 then the next fourth up should be about 50.

Actually, they do. Here:

LaBella Single Strings

But what you might find on that page always looks entirely random, seemingly including whatever odd strings they find lying around on the shop floor. Right now, there is no 751T, which is the string you want. Could be there tomorrow or next week, though.
