What’s Inside?

1 x Set of 4 La Bella 760FS-XL Deep Talkin' Bass Strings in MAP Packaging

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: What is the exact "wound length" of this set?

• A: This set features a 38" wound length from the ball-end to the start of the silk. It is critical to measure your instrument to ensure the silk starts after the nut.

• Q: Can I use these on a standard 34" long scale bass?

• A: No. Because the wound length is 38", the thick part of the string would likely wrap around the tuning post on a standard 34" scale bass, which can cause flat wound strings to crack or fail.

• Q: Are these suitable for through-body stringing?

• A: No, this particular set is designed for top-loading bridges only. For through-body instruments, you must use the specialized "-TB" (Thru-Body) models to ensure the string can handle the sharp angle at the bridge.
