Stainless-steel flat wound strings constructed with thick cores to produce full, deep, vintage tone.
The La Bella 0760M set was used on virtually every Motown gold record in the 1960s. Donald "Duck" Dunn used the same strings on countless recordings with Otis Redding and Booker T. and the MG's. They're among the fullest and deepest-sounding bass strings ever made.
All standard bass sets are long scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D) and 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) and 5th (B) string are 36 3/4” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post or else the string will break.
This set is not suitable for basses with bridges that require strings to pass through the body of the instrument. La Bella tapers their flat wound low B strings 2 1/8" by the ball-end for better intonation.
