La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass Flatwound Strings
La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass flatwounds deliver a smooth feel, strong fundamental, and classic flatwound tone that has defined electric bass recordings for decades. These strings emphasize warmth, focus, and a controlled top end with minimal finger noise and a firm, authoritative response.
Flatwound strings feel and behave very differently than roundwounds. They offer higher tension, a smoother surface, and a more compressed tonal profile that continues to develop as the strings break in.
Good choice for:
- Vintage bass tones
- Motown and soul styles, jazz
- Studio work, and players who prefer a firm feel with reduced brightness.
Compatibility & Fit Notes
- Gauges: 39-56-77-96
- Scale length: Standard long scale
- Refer to LaBella.com (Guide section) for help choosing the correct scale
- Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post
- Not suitable for string-through-body bridges
Setup & Returns
Switching from roundwound strings may require minor setup adjustments (nut, relief, or action). This is normal for flatwound strings and not a manufacturing defect.
Opened string sets are eligible for return or replacement only in cases of verified manufacturing defects (breakage, unraveling, or obvious physical flaws out of the package).
