La Bella Black Nylon Tape Wound bass strings have an incredibly smooth outer wrap of black nylon to create a warm, deep, vintage tone with long sustain. Ideal for frettless bass, these strings also work well on acoustic bass guitars, and are the string of choice for many fretted electric bass players, too.

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
