discreet Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) LaBella 760FL Flats have red silks and brass rings, IIRC. Can't remember if they have silk at the ring end, though. Edited December 21, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 It looks like EB's. Well I like them although i have already ordered some Status flats to try out. If I don't like them as much I know where to go. Thanks for the advice. Note: I was told in a local shop that EB's and Rotosounds are basically the same strings sold under different brands. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Do they look like this? I'd really like to be able to identify this set. Nicest strings that I've ever played, but I don't know what they are. Red silk both ends, quite shiny. Hmmmm? ...

Pinball Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yep thats the ones. I like them a lot. I ordered some Status strings (loved their half rounds in the past) but will be after a set of these if I'm not satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
