Clarky Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Like a dope, I trimmed the G of my La Bella Low Tension Flat set in order to fit my 2+2 Rick 4003. The strings didn't suit the bass and came off after 5-10 mins.... leaving me with a G that doesn't fit a regular Fender 4-in-line headstock or pretty much any popular bass other than a Rick! So does anyone know of a retailer that sells single LTF strings so that I can get an uncut G? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Strings Direct. They might well help you out, they are usually extremely helpful, I'm about three miles from them so if I can be of any help I'm on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I had this when I bought a used set and the G was too short for my jazz, I messaged labella who passed me on to an outlet in the US , the string was only £12 but postage was £16, so I just bought a new set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 I got a half reply, asking for the string set number which I duly supplied by return of email. Maybe tomorrow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Update: StringsDirect can't do single LTFs but put me in touch with La Bella in US. They will send at no cost for the string, other than the $20 shipping and handling charge (which sounds a bit rich for a small package!) Anyhow, thanks all, hopefully my over-zealous string trimming will soon be rectified 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
