Killer look with the dark red at the tips, and absolutely perfect fit for this instrument. Didn’t need to adjust neck tension, but intonation needed to be adjusted of course. Silky smooth, and great sound—soooooo much easier on the fingers than stock or other rounds. Review: Super smooth flats - If you're looking for super smooth flats with a nice balance of jazz and funk sound, these are the way to go. They're brighter than some flats, but a bit more mellow than rounds. Seem to be made well and they look great with the red silks on my red and black jazz bass. They feel great and sound great. Theyre about middle priced compared to competitors but worth it. All came the right length for full scale. They seem they will stand the test of time and lots of playing like most flats. Work great. ## Features - .042-.100 Light-gauge Flatwound Electric Bass Strings - Stainless Steel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00MITW0EA | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,667 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #16 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Stainless Steel Flat Wound | | Brand | La Bella | | Brand Name | La Bella | | Coating Description | Flatwound | | Color | Silber | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 318 Reviews | | Finish Type | Flat Wound | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00656295088959 | | Included Components | Strings only | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | strings for electric bass guitar | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | La Bella | | Manufacturer Part Number | LTF-4A | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | LTF-4A | | Model Number | LTF-4A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Playing bass guitar, Musical performances, Music recording | | Set Name | Low Tension Flexible Flats | | String Gauge | 42-100 | | String Material Type | Stainless Steel | | UPC | 656295088959 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | N/a. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** La Bella - **String Gauge:** 42-100 - **Color:** Silber - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String Material Type:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![La Bella LTF-4A Low Tension Flexible Flats Bass Strings - 4-String - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JNHFHhcgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What does "low tension" mean?** A: low tension flats have lower tension when tuned. For example if you look up tension maps for bass strings or look up what tensions are you will notice strings like D'addario chromes are closer to 50 lbs of tension per string. for example E string 40.29 lbs a is 47.52 g is 58.63 and g is 53.31 these strings feel real tight just to clarify those are the D'addario chromes. But for the low tension flats these tensions are E 34.2 A 30.5 d 34. G 36.2 as you can see a huge difference from chromes. Places like GHS strings has whole tension maps for their strings per fret. There is a sort of science depending on your instrument and tensions you may want compared to styles or sounds your trying to produce. Low tensions generally will allow you to play and bend strings easier while some higher tensions will have better transient or have more sustain. This is a rabbit hole that starts to expand and you can research for hours. Overall these strings are played by tons of guys for the reason they let them get really funky and are easy to bend. **Q: What scale length are these? I'm thinking of them for a Rickenbacker 4001 (long scale).** A: These are long-scale strings. I have them on 2 34" scale basses. **Q: Do these also come in a 5 string version?** A: I'veseenthemlisted. **Q: Are these for short scale 30" basses??** A: they can be but Labella makes specific sets for short scale basses. check part number on their website ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peak for Ibanez Mikro Bass *by M***O on February 7, 2026* Stellar for a beginner on an Ibanez mikro bass.
