As far as i can see, the Spector site does not even state the gauges of all the strings in a set, for these new string sets, disappointing.

It's interesting the way they're up front about their strings being made by La Bella.

Pretty cool news. I'll be buying a Euro 6LX in the next few months. I intend to string it with GHS Pressurewounds or Bass Boomers.

I believe the Euro Series basses come strung with D'Addario XLs. I haven't tried a lot of LaBella's strings, but the sets that I've tried were really good. It wouldn't break my heart at all if a set of these Spector LaBellas are on my new Euro when I finally get it.

It makes sense. Spector is using LaBella's name to help give their new string line some needed authority in a very saturated market.

I wonder if they are just gauges LaBella would use.

At least, that is my first guess.

Reading this part of the press release - Spector and La Bella have developed a custom formula that achieves a balance between longevity, feel, and the impressive attack and sustain that Spector is known for - leads me to believe that no, they're not stock gauges from LaBella's usual catalog.

Yes my Euro 4 LX bought in October was strung with XL's. Which are still going strong!
Best wishes,

I would like to try them...depending on the gauges.

Just ordered a set from Sweetwater . 45-105. I'll report back soon...

Looks like Sweetwater has:
45, 65, 85, 105 for 4 string, 45-130 for 5 string, and 30-130 for 6. I was hoping for a 40-95, dang.
