Sound:
Balanced tension is a funny thing if you've never met it before but each string feels alike and this enables you to play with greater consistency!
Their sound is typically 'flats' in that it has a good fundamental thump but they don't lack clarity or top end either, a good rounded sound but with none of that roundwound snap/sizzle.
Quality:
I always find the mark of a good string is that when you first unwind it it hangs perfectly straight, no disappointment here! Easy to install and nice & stable tuning from the off!
Each string feels very consistent with no lumps or bumps and tension is as even as they claim!
Conclusions:
If you're looking for flatwounds of medium to low tension then these are superb and they sound exactly right!

Old-school tone for days
Uros86 16.08.2021
For old-school flats tone, these are great strings. To me, they sound good right out of the box. Of course with time they loose high-end and become even darker and thumpier. Perfect for Motown P-bass.
I eventually replaced them however, with Dunlop Stanless Steel Flatwounds. The Dunlops sound just about the same, especially when they are broken in, but are slightly less rigid and easier on the fretting hand. The Dunlops are now on the bass, and LaBellas in the drawer, for backup. This is only personal preference though, and the difference is really minor. I still highly recommend these LaBellas.

Imo the best flats there is. Tried Thomastik, Fender and Rotosound, but La Bella are simply my kind of flats. Smooth, great sounding, balanced and great quality.

La Bella, best flats.

i had La Bellas on my fretless for 10 years, i have them on my shortscale SG and i wanted a lower tension for my 2 mudbucker custom bass, the classic sound and feel and it will last you a decade atleast.
