La Bella LTF-5A Low T. Flex Flat 042/118

La Bella Strings is taking a new approach to flat wound bass strings; the result is the LIGHT TENSION FLEXIBLE FLATS series. Using the same techniques that have made the Deep Talkin' Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wounds the best-selling flat wound set on the market, La Bella has adjusted the construction to create a lighter and more flexible alternative to our classic heavier flats. The Light Tension Flexible Flats deliver the same classic sound but without the floppy-string effect associated with other light tension flat wound strings. These hand-wound and hand-polished strings are equipped with round cores for flexibility, and narrower ribbon wire to achieve that unrivaled smooth feeling uniquely characteristic to La Bella Strings. Stainless Steel Flat Wound Round cores for greater flexibility and narrower ribbon for an unrivaled smooth feeling Light Tension Total Tension in Lbs: 163.20 (1st 36.2, 2nd 34, 3rd 30.5, 4th 34.2, 5th 28.3) String Gauges: .042, .056, .075, .100, .118 Standard Long Scale Set Made in the USA with American Wire All standard bass sets are LONG scale length.
