Since the 1950s and 1960s, La Bella's Deep Talkin' Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wounds have been the choice of professional bass players and continue to be the standard for some of the best-sounding flat wound strings on the market.

All standard bass sets are long scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38" from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 3/4" from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post or else the string will break. This particular set is not suitable for basses with bridges that require strings to pass through the body of the instrument.
