What’s Inside?

1 x Set of 5 La Bella 760FS-B-M Deep Talkin' Bass Strings in MAP Packaging

Ideal For:

5-string bassists using medium-scale instruments (32" scale) who require a professional, vintage-voiced flat wound for R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Classic Rock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: How do I know if this is the correct scale for my bass?

• A: Measure the distance on your bass from where the ball-end sits to just past the nut. If that distance is approximately 34 1/4", this Medium Scale set is the correct fit.

• Q: Why can't I use these for string-through-body bridges?

• A: Flat wound strings are prone to cracking if subjected to the sharp 90-degree angle of a through-body bridge. For those instruments, you must use the specialized "-TB" (Thru-Body) version.

• Q: Is the low B string tapered on this set?

• A: As of 2025, La Bella has phased out tapering on the standard 760FS-B series. Current production features a full-contact winding for maximum punch and a consistent feel across the set.
