La Bella 760FL-S Deep Talkin Bass Reviews

Spectacular sound! But..

I already placed a review on these strings where i was realy blown away by there sound on my acoustic fretless bass (Crafter thinline). It's realy easy to obtain an upright growl with them by your technique.

However, i found out that they are realy fragile. Wich doesn't mean that they break but the top windings seem to get loose after a few weeks of (intensive)playing. Especialy the E-string seems to have this problem.

It sounds like you have a thin paper woven around the string what makes it distort in an unpleasant way.

I'm totaly aware of my somehowe heavy right hand attack,so that might shorten the durability from these strings.

Conclusion: these strings are great when you don't play to often and handle them with extreme caution. Otherwise(in my case) you'll have to change them on a near monthly base.

Smooth and light

I bought these for my Gretsch Junior Jet II. They have the familiar silky smooth touch of the iconic La Bella Deep Talking Bass flats, but then in a lighter gauge.

Tonewise they weren't what I was looking for to tame the bright and punchy Gretsch so I switched to the standard gauge.

Quality strings though.
