LaBella still is the "go to" bass string company. They still have what used to be their Heavy Gage Flats.They now call them Vintage 1954,Jameson, what have you. They are still the same. Use a set on my P bass. Be prepared for some major re setup of your bass These things have unbelievable tension.
LaBella also caries the Tape wounds as well. These were my string of choice back around 1970 until around 1985 or so.
www.imperialguitar.com has the best prices on LaBella.Of course having your Store right next door to the LaBella Factory helps.They are great people to deal with also.
