La Bella 760FS Deep Talkin Bass Reviews

The go to for P Bass

This are the only strings my vintage Fender P bass has seen in the last six years and it'll stay that way. It's a perfect match. The sound is punchy yet velvety and rich. No sustain whatsoever, which is great to fit perfectly in the mix!

No need to replace them, in fact the older they get the better they sound. It takes a few weeks to break them in, but after that you'll love them!

Magic on a P bass

I was looking for a darker, Motown style thump for my Precision bass, this fits exactly what I was after! Additionally, using a plectrum with a bit of drive has become one of my favourite bass sounds. Looking forward to hearing how they sound in a few years.

Great Flats

I have tried lots of different brands and types of strings, these are some of the best I have used.

Very varied tone, can be used for lots of styles of music.

I have also tried the lighter gauge La Bellas but I prefer these ones.

My bass strings of choice

Silky smooth feel and a lovely tone that hits deep lows, strong mids and silky highs. I use these on my Fender Jazz and my Epiphone Jack Casady and they bring the best qualities out of each bass. Rich, smooth, warm, Jazzy vintage 60s vibe which I love.

Pino Palladino sound

If you like the sound of Pino Paladino, then buy these strings and put them on an old Fender Precission bass, get an old Ampeg and blame your own fingers! Downside is the price but they last, keep tone timbre, stay in tune, have lots of fat lows while breathing and they won't cut open your fingers!

What to say!

Great strings as always, top quality, nothing else to say!

Expensive but good

If you're looking for flatwounds these are my favorite ones, although they're expensive, for me they have the best finish, and sound.

Fantastic strings

These strings are the best bass strings I've played yet. I love flatwounds, but these have a bounce in them that I haven't had before from a set of flatwounds, really versatile.

My Very First Set of Flats

Having played a musicman sub for the last 7 years I finally bought my first Fender P bass and being a fan of Jamerson I knew I had to go with flats.

I asked a few friends for recommendations and La Bella seemed to be the most recommended.

I have to say I am absolutely delighted with these strings.They're a little brighter than I expected them to be but you wouldn't notice that once the tone is rolled off. With the tone rolled off they have that classic thump however with the tone up full they actually sound great for slap.

All in all I would highly recommend these strings and it's safe to say I won't be using any other brand of flats.

Nice (albeit expensive) flatwounds

In my hunt for the perfect flatwound I've tried these La Bella's, Fender 9050s and D'Addario Chromes.

Overall there's not much to choose between the three - the biggest change is the jump from roundwound to flatwound (where I have a strong preference for the smooth, effortless slides flatwounds offer). The La Bella's are noticeably "stiffer" in that there's less tendency for them to dip between the frets (I guess this is some combination of requiring higher tension and perhaps the string construction just being a bit more rigid).

On balance I suspect I'll stick with the D'Addario Chromes in the long-run - tonally I've a slight preference for them (and they're also a bit cheaper)! But the La Bella's are a very close second.

La Bella 760FS

I use this strings with my Fender AM Jazz bass and it makes a big difference. The sound is sweet, warm and more mellow. The flat worn gives a smooth feeling which I prefer when playing long hours.

oh well

The price is really high and you think about: should I buy them or not? As they are really recommended and often played I bought some.

When you take the strings out of the package you see immediately how smooth they are and there will be no dirt when you slide over the strings.

Well done for this first step. Strung onto the bass, plugged the bass into the amp, what will happen next? The E string sounds dead already and the g strings sounds like you play a Sitar. The effect of the E string seems to be normal as LaBella told me, the effect of the g string is a mistake and LaBella sent a new string. Hmm, great service by LaBella, but not satisfying when you buy a new product of this price.
