La Bella760FM-B Deep Talkin' Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wound 5-String Bass Strings Medium (49 - 128)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a five-string bass that uses a conventional bridge path, this medium 49–128 stainless-steel flatwound set is a long-scale option from La Bella’s Deep Talkin’ Bass range. Installation needs attention: the silk section, rather than the speaking length of the string, must be what reaches the tuning post. Check the bridge before ordering, since these strings are not for basses that route strings through the body.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing strings on a long-scale five-string bass with a non-through-body bridge.
- Players who want a medium-gauge 49–128 stainless-steel flatwound five-string set.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Basses whose bridge requires strings to pass through the instrument body.
