BassBod Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Do tell more...not heard of them 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Apparently they were developed for Chicago Music Exchange by La Bella. Pure nickel roundwound wrap on a hex core. No silks at either end. Lots of different gauges and scale lengths. Tension I would say is medium-high. Tone is pure nickel: warm, with sweet highs Feel is wonderful, they are so smooth your fingers fly over them with much less squeak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicVibes Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Is there any way to buy these without paying the ridiculous shipping costs? Been itching to try these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you speak to CME througn the Reverb messaging system they will adjust the shipping down to a much more sensible price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Have you tried the Fender 7150s or GHS Balanced Nickels? I would be interested to see how they compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
