Description
These are BRAND NEW F Bass strings sold by an authorized FBass dealer! They are ‘exposed core’ strings with a short length over the saddle that is thinner in diameter than the rest of the string providing a looser feel and a cleaner fundamental. What this means to you is that these suckers are easy to play, and sound BAD @$$ – especially the low B!
FBass 5-String Sets Exposed Core Bass Strings
F basses are set up with custom La Bella ‘F Bass’ strings in the following gauges:
- B: .128″
- E: 102″
- A: .085″
- D: .063″
- G: .043″
Our strings are wound for us specifically in an Extra Long Scale for modern F Basses (34” & 34.5” with the current headstock design). Note that the strings will not work on our older 34” basses with the B or E string tuners closer to the nut. If they’re strung on a regular 34 inch scale or shorter, then the windings may snap at the tuner peg. There is a transition of taper windings at the peg end of the string, and as soon as the larger diameter wind starts to wrap on the post, the core will snap. The problem is worsened on smaller diameter tuner posts. Before winding, the installer needs to lay them out to make sure the larger windings do not wrap on the posts. If so, the user needs to use 34 inch scale strings or shorter. If the player wants exposed core strings, they may need to purchase regular scale, 34” LaBella Super Steps, but still check the length before winding around the posts.
