F
Top quality string, very long lasting tone!
FunkyM 04.10.2020
Use
I use them with Conklin GTBD-7 bass. My main string set for last 9 years. I`ve tried other similar sets: Dean Markley SR2000, Ken Smith Taper`s, SIT, but this string set is the best for me.

Clarity
For the first time i`ve need to adjust the bridge saddles to fit the explosive core end. For some bases it can be problem, because you need to raise the height of the saddles to fit.

pros
Very balanced and full range bass sound. Good for slapping and finger-style. This set is light tension and light gauge, so the sensitivity of strings is very good, as well as more dynamics and open sound.
My opinion - the set is good for basses with small string-to string distance 16-17mm. I`ve tried this set also on 4 string fretless and semi-hollow - works very well.
This set is very long lasting and keep the character of sound until the end. High recommended set!

Cons: price can be cheaper.

Thanks Thomann for this qualitative product!

Super steps = super bright
TomasM 20.05.2014
Quite like these La Bella strings.
Lovely bright tone which is what I like from a string.

The only thing is the fact that the bridge end of the string is only the core will mean a slight action adjustment

Great punchy strings with lots of sustain
walbassist 04.06.2015
La Bella make terrific strings, and super steps are no exception. They feel fast under the fingers, a nice tension, and the stepped core at the bridge means they work especially well on a 5 string low B (easier to intonate). The tone is bright but not harsh, and they last well.
