Labella Deep Talking Flats - Awesome!!

[markdavid]

Hi All,

Thought I would share my experience with the Labella flats. I am very impressed so far , had these on only a couple of weeks so far but straight from the packet these strings sounded good. None of that excessive new string brightness that you get with some flats when new , these are kind of upright bass sounding and are very old school sounding

...and they'll just keep getting better and better.

I love 'em... they're not an undefined thump, but... proper bass.

I love the sound & feel of LaBellas on short scale fender musicmaster basses, but the G wasn't long enough on both sets I bought with different guages so I have had to use a G from an old 34" set which is a bit naff

The lighter set are on a daisy rock heartbreaker (2/2 headstock so they fit) which has a wonderful old-school precision tone with them.

I love the Fender Musicmaster bass , I know a lot of people dont like them but I love the sound and feel of them, I can see that flats would sound good on a Musicmaster

I had Deep Talkers on an old 70's Ibanez P bass, very nice. However I use TI flats on my current jazz, and for me, they're my favourite flats, low tension, and quite bright and clicky, just better for me that's all.

Come to think of it , thats quite funny , my main bass is a cheap p bass that ive fixed up with quarterpounders only to slap labella flats on it , roll the tone down and lust after the muddy tones of the musicmaster bass , Oh the irony!
