La Bella Has Over 400 Years of String Making Experience
The tradition of string making dates back to the 1640s in Salle, Italy, where the Mari family supplied gut strings to the famous violin builders of Cremona. In 1913, brothers Olinto & Emilio Mari arrived in New York bringing their family craft to the States. Over the years, the brothers shaped the landscape of the string industry with their innovative designs. Every set is manufactured using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string.

I think I'm hooked on LaBella now. My string were old but these make it feel like a whole new bass.Go for it. You won't regret it.

These are probably the smoothest and most physically attractive flatwound strings that I have ever played. They have this dark luster to them I adore. La Bellas definitely have a thing to them in terms of a deep rumbling sound. Pretty dark sound. My biggest issue was that these strings were very fragile. They say to only wrap the silk around the post, and not to use them with a string through body bass. Never encountered bass strings with this kind of warning… I was very careful, and I put them on a top loading P bass as instructed. One of the strings still unraveled at the ball end. Nothing crazy done by me. I don’t think their normal deep talking bass strings are this finicky. Don’t understand why these strings were made so delicate? I don’t know if it’s just bad luck on my part, but bass strings are expensive and to have one break right out of the package is so off putting and frustrating. Makes me question La Bella QC and has put me off the brand. Maybe I’ll try them again in the future, but for now just frustrated at the lost money on these shoddy strings.

I bought these after a recommendation from a friend and he wasn't joking. These strings feel and sound great. If you're looking for a new flat wound string give these a try, you won't be disappointed.
Very weak sounding. Lacks punch and Clarity.

A very special set that gives a nice flatwound feel and thump while offering more articulation and less tension, making the strings considerably less difficult for both hands.
