New La Bella Golden Alloy Flatwounds

[Aidil]

You can generally use a plain steel F string to complete any 7 string set.

I'm not aware of any bass ball end or length gold colored plain strings.. actually.. Aurora has gold plain steel... They are closed till after New year's but I should be able to make that single happen.

Yes I know high-F plain string can be interchangeable across brands but we're talking gold color scheme here, and I've just checked your website, there's no Aurora singles as an option and their sets don't even have as high as high-C string.

They have them. Like I said... I have to get with them after the new year. They are closed for the holidays.

Ordered the 4-string set, hope they'll sound good on my P

I played a set at the La Bella shop on a Mas Hino Jazz bass. They were way dope. Played like a dream, tone for days and looked insanely good.

The first person to A/B them with Deep Talkin Flats on a jazz or P bass wins a thumbs up emoji from yours truly.

Now I need to buy a P-bass and a tort guard for these flats.

My P-bass and its tort guard have been waiting for those strings!

The pantry?.....

I'm not allowed in the pantry this time of year. My GF's sugar cookies start mysteriously disappearing any time I go in there.

I can relate to that

 

[Noylin]

From what I understand the initial offerings will not. The only flats from La Bella that will fit a "Dingwall" with a 37" B-string are ones I had made. It would need to be something similar to that. If I see enough demand I can make it happen.

I'd buy a set that would fit a long scale Dingwall at first opportunity.

Aside from that, know if there are any plans for extra long scale?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Right now only these long scale sets.

Next production run will be for second quarter 2017

They are available in 4 5 and 6 String sets.

I've had them on basses for 3 days. I'm sure these are going to age very nicely

Any plans for a 760FL set in gold?

Only the standard in long scale at this time.

I have not heard of any suggestion by La Bella that they will be making other sets yet.

Bummer. Any thoughts on how the tension compares to the standard DTF equivalent sets?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Very similar in tension and response. Softer surface feel

Forgive me if this has been asked already, @SLaPiNFuNK
How is the B?
Dead or lively? Floppy or springy?

Thanks! Sincerely appreciate the quick responses!
