SHORT SCALE

Since the 50s and 60s, La Bella's DEEP TALKIN' BASS Stainless Steel Flat Wounds have been the choice of professional bass players and continue to be the standard for the best sounding Flat Wounds on the market.

• Stainless Steel Flat Wound; hand-polished for incredibly smooth finish
• Light Tension
• String Gauges: .043, .060, .082, .104
• Short Scale Set: Distance from Ball-End to Silk is 32 1/4"; only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post
• Made in the USA with American Wire
• Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness

• This particular set is NOT suitable for basses with bridges that require strings to pass through the body of the instrument.

How to Figure out the “String Wound Length” your Bass Requires: On your bass, measure the distance from the ball-end to just past the nut (you may have to remove the string if the string goes through the body). Then use our key to figure out the correct set for your bass:

La Bella Short Scale Set: 32 ¼” Wound Length 

STRING WOUND LENGTH Note the Following: • Make sure the string wound length clears the nut. 

 • For flat wounds, make sure the wound portion of the string does NOT wrap around the tuning post (or else they will break). • Do not use standard flat wound bass sets on basses that require stringing through the body of the bass (or else they will break). We have Through-Body “-TB” models for those basses e.g. 760FL-TB, 760FS-TB, etc. • La Bella Beatle Bass sets can ONLY be used on Beatle basses (and very similar models). Do NOT try them on standard basses or they will break
