LA BELLA BASS 760FHB2 DTB BEATLE BASS SS FLAT WOUND .39-.96

La Bella's 760FHB2 DTB delivers the signature flat wound stainless steel sound that defined an era of bass playing. Designed specifically for vintage–style Beatle bass instruments with their shorter 30.5–inch scale, this set captures the warm, thumpy character associated with classic 1960s recordings. The.39,.96 gauge configuration mirrors the original specifications used on those historic tracks, offering proper tension and intonation across all four strings.

Each string features a stainless steel ribbon flat wound over a hex core, producing the smooth feel and muted attack that flat wounds are known for. The gauges run.39,.56,.70, and.96 from high to low, calibrated for drop–tuning down to D on short–scale basses without floppiness. La Bella's manufacturing process yields strings with minimal finger squeak and reduced fret wear compared to round wounds, while the stainless construction adds brightness and sustain that pure nickel flat wounds sometimes lack.
