LA BELLA BASS 760FHBB DTB BEATLE BASS SS FLAT WOUND 50100

La Bella's 760FHBB set brings authentic flatwound tone to the Beatle Bass short–scale platform with stainless steel construction. These strings deliver the warm, defined thump that defined countless recordings while maintaining the durability and brightness stainless steel provides over traditional nickel. The 50–100 gauge balances tension and playability on 30–inch scale instruments, giving players the punchy midrange and smooth feel that made this bass voice legendary without sacrificing contemporary string longevity or tonal consistency across the fingerboard.

Stainless steel ribbon wire is precision–wound over a hex core to produce a flat playing surface that reduces finger noise and fret wear. The gauges run .050, .065, .085, and .100 for balanced tension response across all four strings. Each string features a tapered ball end designed specifically for Höfner–style tailpieces and short–scale instruments. The flatwound construction produces fundamental–rich tone with controlled overtones, delivering articulation without the metallic edge of roundwounds while the stainless formulation retains more high–frequency content than nickel alternatives.
