Another String Identification Topic

Name that string...

Flatwounds. Black wrapping at machineheads. Plain on ball end. 

Broken G string that I'd like to replace but appreciate may also mean buying a new full set.

Labella flats have black silks. I'm not sure if they all do but their set for Hofners do. 

Beware though, I needed a replacement D string as it snapped fitting it (LaBella replaced FOC) but it had a grey silk, so they might've changed them all now. A black sharpie soon matched it too the others though.

Just to add, LaBella sell individual strings on their website. 🙂

They could be Labella 760 FS , not sure what scale your bass is 🙂

Don’t Dunlop have black silks ?

Front the other current string ID thread, Dunlop have black silks at both ends, LaBella only have them at the nut end.

You know I thought they might be labella but I bought some kf them like 10(!) Years ago if not more but took theese off a bass and they've just sat around until now. 

It's a standard 34in precision.

Do they seek the flatwounds as singles? For some reason not showing up in any of my searches.

The last time I contacted labella for a single LTF, G,string, they quoted me £16 plus £4.99 postage, I didn’t bother and just bought a new set

Not sure. I've bought individual strings to make up my own sets but they were rounds. I just assumed they did the same with flats, maybe not then. Sorry.

I emailed them what string I wanted and they sent me back a link to the single string
