La Bella Super Polished bass strings provide the punch of stainless steel with the smooth feel of flats. Crafted from round-wound stainless steel strings, these strings are designed with flexible Olinto hex cores and gauges, then polished down on factory-designed machines to smooth out the ridges typically found on round-wound strings.
This advanced polishing process significantly enhances the feel of the strings, surpassing the conventional and often abrasive texture of “half rounds” or “ground wound” strings. The result is a unique tone that balances the characteristics of both flatwound and roundwound strings, delivering a buttery smooth feel.
Featuring a polished stainless steel round wound design, these strings maintain standard tension and come in gauges of .047, .068, .080, and .107. The hex core construction ensures better intonation and prevents string buzz, providing a reliable and consistent performance for bass players.
The La Bella Super Polished strings are designed for long-scale basses, with a total length of 37" from ball-end to silk/taper. It is crucial that only the silk portion of the string wraps around the tuning post to avoid string breakage. They can be top-loaded or strung through the body of the bass, provided the 37” wound length is sufficient for through-body stringing.
Made in the USA with high-quality American wire, these strings are packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness. Users are advised not to tug or pull on the strings to break them in, as this could lead to breakage.
