Discover a truly unique playing experience, born from a collaboration between the master string makers at La Bella and the renowned session bassist, Ian Martin Allison. This signature set was designed to solve a common dilemma for bassists: how to get the bright, articulate tone of a roundwound string without the associated finger noise and fret wear. The solution is this masterfully crafted Super Polished set, offering the best of both worlds.

The magic lies in the meticulous polishing process. La Bella takes a high-quality stainless steel roundwound string and polishes the outer surface to an incredibly smooth finish. The result is a string that feels as sleek and comfortable as a flatwound, allowing for effortless gliding up and down the neck. This significantly reduces finger squeak, making these strings an ideal choice for studio recording and quiet passages. However, unlike flatwounds, they retain the punch, clarity, and harmonic richness that only a roundwound string can provide. You get a deep, powerful low-end with crisp, articulate highs.

Perfectly balanced for 5-string basses, this custom gauge set ensures even tension and a consistent feel across all strings. Whether you're laying down a groove in the studio or holding down the low end on stage, these strings provide the versatility and performance modern players demand. They are made in the USA with the highest quality materials and packaged using MAP Technology to ensure they arrive as fresh as the day they were made.
