Deep and Full Vintage Flatwound Tone

La Bella's Flatwound Deep Talkin' Bass strings became a top choice for professional bass players all the way back in the 1950s, and their popularity has never wavered. Made from hand-polished stainless steel, these flatwound bass strings deliver a profoundly deep and vibrant tone with all the sustain you could ask for — and they retain their tone well after standard flatwounds have gone dead. No strings on the market play as smooth on a standard electric bass, and they feel absolutely luxurious on a fretless bass. If you're in the market for superior flatwound strings, then La Bella's Flatwound Deep Talkin' Bass strings are it.

Centuries of expertise in each set of La Bella strings

La Bella strings are the top choice for musicians ranging from world-famous artists such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter to everyday players like many of us here at Sweetwater. Their heritage reaches back to the Mari family of Salle, Italy, in the 17th century, and they became famous throughout Europe — even supplying violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. In the early 20th century, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved the string operation to New York, founding the modern La Bella company. Today, La Bella strings are considered among the finest in the world, and we think you'll agree when you hear what they can do for your favorite instrument.

Great Bass Strings

They sound and feel so smooth with that well-known vintage tone, and a silk wrap at the end.

Wonderful strings

LaBella flats are my go-to since I started playing bass two years ago. Out of the package, they're bright. But they settle into that warm tone after a couple weeks of playing.


These strings have overtones, which sound musical in many contexts! However, adding light foam at the bridge helps focus the sound for defined, articulate attacks for those of us with lighter touches.

La Bella flatwounds

Great sounding bass strings. Got the thump and the upper definition.
Fast ship and good candy.
Gotta love Sweetwater.

Really impressive

First, a caveat: I've been a guitar player for 30 years and only just picked up the bass in a serious way 3 months ago. That said, I've played several basses and experienced different strings. Round wounds, and DR Nickel flats. The la bella steel flatwounds are incredible. I had never thought about string "craftsmanship" until I put these on my aerodyne p bass. The feel is exceptionally smooth, even among flatwound strings. They break in to be surprisingly supple after a couple weeks of daily playing. The black silk wrap at the ends is a nice color choice because it will "match" any bass. I know some players don't like having certain colors visible on their bass, though I wouldn't care, personally. The tone is mellow, like flats should be, but also very rich and present. Let me put it this way: My aerodyne p bass is brand new to me, but when I crave playing it, I'm thinking more about getting my hands on the strings than the bass itself! That's crazy and completely unexpected. I can't speak to durability bc I've only had them for a month. I hope they last years. Go for it.

Wonderful Strings

I don't have a lot of experience with flatwounds, so when I went to order a set for my new Epiphone Bass, everyone said that LaBella were the best. So, I thought, why not buy the best? Then I saw the price. Whew....that's a lot for a set of strings. But, it's Christmas, so I thought, I'll get them.
And wow, I mean, just wow, these strings are amazing. The feel is so smooth. The tone is so punchy and awesome. I've never seen a better made string. They are perfect.
Buy these, you won't regret it.
