La Bella Bass Strings Set of 4: 52-110,760M James Jamerson,Flatwound

I love these strings so much I bought two sets. I only needed one but I like them so much I got over excited. Not for the faint hearted, they are very thick and very tense, which makes for harder fretting technique if moving from lighter, floppier roundwounds, but the reward is a thick, creamy bass tone. Because they're so taught, you can usually lower the action a little to help with the fretting. They take a while to 'play in' so don't worry if you don't like them at first, they mellow the more you play them and will last for a very, very long time.

I’ve had a set on my fender jazz since 2017 and just replaced them today Feb 2020) they are so silky smooth these strings make it a joy to play. They also produce a warm tone and are as comfortable with finger style, slap and pick styles. I hope these new ones last another 3 years because they ain’t cheap. But what is worth having?

Great product and service from DV247.
Thank you.

Perfect balance and a real vintage sound

These really are THE sound, aren't they? Had to alter my bridge to absolute extremes for intonation purposes because of how heavy they are, and they have taken a lot of playing to break them in properly. Despite that, they really are incomparable once settled in, and for anyone looking for that level of depth of sound these are definitely the strings to go for. Just be sure that you properly "witness" the E string when putting it on, ensure that you have a good break angle at the nut, and be prepared to possibly have to set your bridge saddle as far back as it will go (at least, that was my experience!).
