La Bella SP-47125 Super Polished 5 Bass

I felt eager to try these strings after finding out LaBella made them. Rounds with a flat touch, what more could one want? Well...that would become apparent quite quickly. After putting these strings on my US made G&L L2500 I immediately noticed that the B string missed all the "zing" that was present in the other strings. All lower strings, E, A, D, G sound great with that recognizable steel deepness and zzzzing. But not the B string. The lowness is there no doubt but no zing at all. The string therefore sounds radically different than the others.

So I would definitely recommend this set for 4 string basses, but not for a fiver. I am extremely disappointed. But that's my fault because my hopes were high.
