LaBella Danelectro Strings

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I'm playing my danelectro longhorn a lot these days and have an old set of short scale rotosound jazz flats on it. I'm not a big fan of rotosounds and only use these as they were the only I could find that would fit on a 30" scale bass. I've just seen that stringbusters have a set of Danelectro strings 760FD listed on their LaBella [url="http://www.stringbusters.com/frameset.asp?MAIN=http://www.stringbusters.com/ko-kat/BASS%20STRINGS/LA%20BELLA/"]deep talkin' page[/url]. These are meant to be the same as the original strings LaBella made for the original danelectro/silvertones in the 60s. Anyone tried 'em? LaBella flats are my 2nd favourite flatounds after thomastiks (unfortunately TI JF324s would be much too long for the dano). I'm tempted to order a set of the 760FDs as it looks like the longhorn will be my weapon of choice for [url="http://www.skunkeye.co.uk"]skunkeye[/url], my blues band.
