La Bella Electric Bass Guitar Deep Talkin' Bass Light, .043 - .104, Stainless Steel Flat Wound, 760FLstar rating 5AlAugust 11, 2010I had ordered one set of 760FL's before and was very happy with them. This time around, I noticed something that got me a bit worried; the individual envelopes that the strings came in were stained with some oily substance, and yes... the strings themselves felt (and smelled) oily! I was worried that this would "kill" the openness of tone that I had enjoyed on the first set, but a quick wipe-down of each string with some paper towels, and I was good to go! The tone was all there! I guess the oiliness is the byproduct of the manufacturing process or maybe some kind of protective coating. These strings have a solid, fundamental tone that still retains a bit of harmonic content that creates a good bit of what I'd call "growl" on my Yamaha BB1200! Great strings!

Answer (with apologies up front to non-meat eaters): like bacon-wrapped, grass-fed fillet mignon! (Ok... full disclosure, I'm a non-meat eater myself, but I remember the bygone days.) The tone that these strings produce (on a PJ-bass with DiMarzio pickups) is, on one end, a crunchy, blunt-force shot to the gut, and on the other, subtly nuanced that lends itself to a wide variety of applications. This is the only flat I will ever buy again!

After playing them for awhile I got used to the feel of them and the Old Ric sound is back. I can darken them up using the tone control for a deeper fender sound. These may be the best we can get for the Ric's anymore.

ChandlerJanuary 18, 2010When I got my first fretless I figured TIs were the way to go. In the end I found them tonally/tensionally imbalanced and had to change, and I went through several brands. When I landed on these (specifically in this gauging), I decided I was done searching. These flats are awesome because they are tensionally balanced, even string-to-string response, and the tone is quite flexible. The warmth is certainly there, but yet these things even sound good played with a pick! I think the greatest thing these string have to offer is that they have a wide spectrum of tones that varies specifically with the user's attack, giving the bassist a lot more flexibility on the spot. They get my highest marks for modern and vintage fretless tones.

I have tried many different brands, but the balance in these sets never disappoints. They feel a little sticky in the beginning, but after a few weeks the feeling goes away. Absolutely fantastic sound from any Fender I put them on!! Try a set, you will not be disappointed.
