Does anywhere sell singles of La Bella LTFs?

[Clarky]

Like a dope, I trimmed the G of my La Bella Low Tension Flat set in order to fit my 2+2 Rick 4003. The strings didn't suit the bass and came off after 5-10 mins.... leaving me with a G that doesn't fit a regular Fender 4-in-line headstock or pretty much any popular bass other than a Rick!

 

So does anyone know of a retailer that sells single LTF strings so that I can get an uncut G?

 

Thank you!

Try Strings Direct. They might well help you out, they are usually extremely helpful, I'm about three miles from them so if I can be of any help I'm on it.

Thanks Frank! I will drop them an email

I had this when I bought a used set and the G was too short for my jazz, I messaged labella who passed me on to an outlet in the US , the string was only £12 but postage was £16, so I just bought a new set

They are really good over the phone unlike a lot of suppliers!

Thanks Frank, I have already emailed them. If I don't get a timely reply, I will pick up the phone!

Any joy Sir?

I got a half reply, asking for the string set number which I duly supplied by return of email. Maybe tomorrow?

Update: StringsDirect can't do single LTFs but put me in touch with La Bella in US. They will send at no cost for the string, other than the $20 shipping and handling charge (which sounds a bit rich for a small package!) Anyhow, thanks all, hopefully my over-zealous string trimming will soon be rectified

Have you tried Bassdirect, think they are the largest labella dealer in the Uk , good luck.
