Proprietary golden alloy ribbon wire used for the exterior wrap adds a tonal mid-range unlike any other flat wound on the market. La Bella Gold Flats also offer more attack and are slightly softer to the touch than traditional stainless steel flat wounds. Gold Flats’ beautiful gold finish will look great on any vintage or modern bass. Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness. NOTICE: This particular set is NOT suitable for basses with bridges that require strings to pass through the body of the instrument!
