I have the GHS on one bass and the Fenders on another. They have very different sounds, but I like them both. Even as dark as the GHS are, you can hear every note. I have them on my old-school P, and I can use them with my punk rock band and everyone can still hear every note, even thought I'm getting that 60s sound and the guitars and drums are very loud I have the Fenders on an 80s Fernandes PJ. I like having those extra highs and lows with that bass. I'll probably replace them once they really break in, but I've had them for several months and they still have nice highs.
All these have great sound characteristics ... for me it's the E string length and how that silk " lands" on the post ... Fender flats for the win , nice tension also .
I confirm, new GHS sound huge in fundamental and volume. Unfortunately when broken in they sounded too dark and muddy for my bass and I don't like lighter gauges so I had to change brand. But yeah the notes are heavy, that's for sure
@@monz7951 Certainly the sound is dark. Didn't you like it so much? Ernie Ball's Group III or D'Addario Chrome might be a good choice if you like a slightly brighter sound with a more tension!
@@naototada I loved the tone, big and full but my bass sounds already dark and I missed a little high frequencies in a band mix. I've just installed EB group III and I like them a lot, thanks for your comparison videos!
The Labellas have a beautiful full range punchy sound. The Fenders do too, but was suprised that they seemed to have (slightly) less highs and more mids. And I think the Fenders won on the slap tone. Seem more versatile to me and I prefer the feel over labellas so fender wins for me. However, labellas are pretty hard to beat on a p bass, definitely one of my favourite flats, but I really liked the Fenders and suprised how well they stack up to the labellas. The GHS precision flats were suprisingly dull. In some videos they sound really fat and meaty , but in comparison to the labellas they were really dull. The had all the bottom of the labellas but the labellas also had just enough high end too.
im trying hard to convince myself to get some light gauge la Bellas...but those 9050s, even with the .100 E string seem to have a rich low end resonance that's unique...is there a big difference in low end between the 9050s and la Bellas??
Labella has a characteristic in the mid-low range, and I felt that the 9050 has a characteristic in the low end and high end. If you're looking for low end, a 9050 gauge will suffice.
@@lisaredsatl2571 9050 and Daddario chromes are quite bright when freshly applied, so I think they are suitable for slaps. Labella has a very old school slap sound.
I tried LaBellas but the E was just too dead. Fenders better for overall string to string consistency but limited life and when they went it was off a cliff. No gradual degradation. Not tried GHS. My go to strings are EB Cobalts - both round and flat are great and last such a long time 😎
Great video man. I have fender 9050l on my pbass at the moment, been looking to change to La Bella. Is there much difference in tension between the two?
@@naototada Interesting! I would've thought the La Bella would've be the highest tension. I've been playing the Fender flats (45-100) and find them pretty easy to play. I want to try La Bella's now, just deciding which set - FL, FS, or even the low tension set!
I’m pretty sure fender have changed the formula. They used to be very stiff. The new set I have is so easy to play and flexible and doesn’t pull on the neck. Are the GHS strings higher tension than the labella set?
I have Fender on my P bass, but in this video i liked the GHS better than the Fender.
Very good video, thank you for sharing with us.
I am the one who should thank you! Check this out too

GHS are so smooth, warm and growly, beautiful midrange character.
Thanks!I think so, too
All 3 sound good. Fender IMO are the most clear sounding and pleasing, not to mention they are probably the least expensive.
I love my Fender flats, they just feel and sound better every month! And they're insanely cheap for flats
Nowadays they‘re not sooo cheap anymore. Got them for nearly half the price some years ago.. 17€!

Thanks for your comment! Flat wound with punk rock! Nice！
@@naototada I like to hear the clean click sound of the pick on the flat wound strings.

貴重な動画ありがとうございます！何回も何回も聴き直しました。 私はフラットはフェンダーのみです。気になっていたdeep talkin'が弾きごたえがありそうです。ghsの音もいいのですが強く弾くと暴れる恐れがあると感じました。音の好みではla bella、ghs,fenderの順です。
blues主体で割と強く弾くのでLa bellaが合いそうです。
このベース3,4弦間が狭いですね。私も同じになるのでブリッジ側でずらして等間隔にしていますが果たしてそれでいいのかどうかわかりません。
Deep Talkinも104-43ですが個人的には強く弾くと暴れます、もしかしたらヘビーゲージくらいでもちょうどいいのかも、です！
They all sound great!
Thanks!
Sweet demo. Can u recall if the la bellas are the FS or FL set?
Thanks!! La bella 760FL
どのメーカーの弦も良い音が鳴りますね。眼福ならぬ耳福な動画でした。
ありがとうございます！

Excellent and very helpful video.
Thanks!!
Mr: Naoto the riff in this video is in a song or a simple paratice patter thanks
This video helped save me some money. My conclusion: La Bella not worth the extra dough over Fender flats
I'm glad to help you!
LaBella...they just "feel" better to me.
What do you think about the DR strings flatwounds? I have them on my bass, but a comparison would be cool.
I've never tried DR so I'd like to try it.
Very nice, thank you! How is the tension of these sets? And how old were they at the time of the video? Thanks!
Thank you. GHS is the hardest and La Bella is just right. La Bella 5 years, Fender&GHS 1 year.
@@naototada I'll oder a set of the Fender ones, I like their tone! And nice playing!
Thank you! Nice!
And Ernie Ball(GROUP3) is also recommended for Flatwound! Try it
@@naototada Thanks for the tip!
Great comparison, the GHS sound a lot louder to me, is that just how they are?
Yes! The sound of GHS flats is very Old sound and wonderful

I've seen complaints that the ghs long scale are way to long when stringing them, did you find that to be the case?
No problem for me!
あいみょんのプレゼントでのベースいいですねー🤙こんなふうに弾きたいです。🤗

Is the pbass neck comfortable to play ?
The Japanese fender P-Bass neck is slim and comfortable
Fender strings sound the best. As an fyi d’addario makes the fender strings for them
I knew it! I like D'Addario Chromes. Thanks for the comment
外国人がアップした動画だと思って見ていたら、途中で「さて」と文字が現れ日本人と知って思わず感激ｗ

昔、フラット弦しかなかった(田舎には)時代、
ドエラくトレブリーな未知のサウンドとパーカッシブな奏法(チョッパー)に衝撃を受けた中二病を患っていたわたくし(未だに治癒せずw)
は、
奏法やサウンドに悩みました。
少ししてからラウンド弦が田舎にも流通しだして試しに張り替えたら、、、
🎵(before&アフターのアレ)～
まあ！何と言う事でしょう💕‼️
諦めていた憧れのあのサウンドが出ました(歓喜)
あれから幾星霜～馬齢を重ね重ね醜態を晒しながら、、、
本当に久しぶりにフラット弦をベース人生で初めて買ったPBタイプ(エドワーズ)に張って、あぁ、そうそう、この音🤣👍💕
因みに、ダダリオの040－095のゲージ。
(昨今のフェンダー弦はダダリオのOEM)
情報がなかった頃の、ラウンドワウンド&スラップは、別の楽器かと思うくらい、？？になりそうですね！
そんな中色々と試行錯誤するのも楽しそうです。
やはりフェンダーはダダリオOEMなんですねー
why isn't this sound on d.i.

Thank you for your comment! I often hear about labella. I like EB Cobalt👍
俺が買ったフラット弦の順番は GHS、 Fender、で La Bella でした。
時々クリアなフラット弦が欲しい時あるけどやっぱラベラに決まりました。最近買った JV Squier に付けて最高っす！
ちなみに GHS and La Bella は結構似てると思いました。
GHSは前は凄く安くてハイクオリティだなと思いましたが、最近高くなってしまいましたね！個人的には音質は似てますが手触りがラベラはツルツルで、GHSは鉄って感じです。JVにフラットワウンド良いですねー
What gauges were the sets?
Hi.
Labella 043、.060、.082、.104
Fender .045、.060、.080、.100
GHS. 045、060、075、095
Bassist Naoto Tada thank you!
Incredible that the GHS sound so fat with 45-95! Great video thanks
@@naototada considering the GHS are the lightest gauge of these three sets… you say the GHS are the stiffest to play (highest tension?)
Great video man. I have fender 9050l on my pbass at the moment, been looking to change to La Bella. Is there much difference in tension between the two?
I think the tension is different. Labella is softer.
最後の問題のLabellaの音がめっちゃ好きなので、アンシュミの設定について詳しく伺いたいです
全部プラグインの後がけで、軽いコンプとampegのSVTのアンプシュミレーターGain上げめでクリップさせてます
ghs はテンションが強いとよく聞くのですが結構弾くと硬いですか？
僕は細いゲージしか試した事ないですが、それでもたしかにしっかりしてるので105とかだと強いかもです！
Which La Bella set did you use?? and how does the tension compare between the three?
I'm using Deep Talking Bass760FL! Fender has the strongest tension, and Labella is well-balanced and easy to play.
@@naototada Interesting! I would've thought the La Bella would've be the highest tension. I've been playing the Fender flats (45-100) and find them pretty easy to play. I want to try La Bella's now, just deciding which set - FL, FS, or even the low tension set!

I’m pretty sure fender have changed the formula. They used to be very stiff. The new set I have is so easy to play and flexible and doesn’t pull on the neck. Are the GHS strings higher tension than the labella set?
ラベラ渋いですね。張った事ないのですが、ネックは反りませんでしょうか？
自分のは104〜なので大丈夫です。ベヴィーゲージだとわかりません笑
I don’t see how you can make the labellas slap like that, they must be the medium gauge.
Either way, well done.
LaBella first .. GHS last .. guess who’s in the middle?
LaBella!!
フラット弦の弾き比べ面白いっすね。全然違うんですね。
今度フェンダージャパンとトーカイのPB弾き比べをやってくださいw
ありがとうございます！トーカイ売ってしまったんです。とても軽くてピックアップが良くてパワーがありましたね！
あら、残念です。最近ジャンクのハードパンチャーを激安で手に入れて、アッセンブリーを取り替えたら物すごく良くなりました！
Totally useless unless you cut the backing track between the takes of each string.
I normally play ghs boomers
boomers!I wonder if I should give it a try
@@naototada i play alot of steve harris (iron maiden). Gives nice tension wire sound.
@@bobmac8309 I have tried it. It was a wonderful string. Also, Sadowsky's flat wound is surprisingly good! Try it
What is this stupid click-click-click????
