La Bella 0760M-CB Deep Talkin' Bass 1954 Originals, 6-String

The La Bella 0760M-CB Deep Talkin' Bass 1954 Originals are a 6-string flatwound set recreating the original flatwound bass string formula from 1954. These were the very first flatwound bass strings ever made, and La Bella still produces them using the same construction methods and materials. For 6-string players, this set extends that historic tone across the full extended range.

The 1954 Originals have a unique tonal character that's darker, thumpier, and more vintage-sounding than La Bella's modern flatwound offerings. Think James Jamerson, think classic Motown, think the birth of electric bass tone. The feel is distinctive too, with a slightly rougher surface than modern flats that many traditional players prefer. Handcrafted in New York the same way they've been made for over 70 years, the 0760M-CB brings a piece of bass string history to your 6-string instrument.
