Stainless Steel Roundwound DoubleBall Steinberger Bass Strings
 | Double Ball are roundwound steel strings with a hex core specifically designed for steinberger basses. |
 | LaBella Double Ball Stainless Steel Stainless Steel double ball strings from LaBella, available in several gauges, as well as 5 string with either low B or high C strings. |
 | Rotosound Double Ball Swing Bass 66 (Steel) Double Ball version of the Swing 66, a very popular roundwound string used by John Entwistle, Geddy Lee and many others. The double ball version is available in three different gauges. |
Nickel Roundwound DoubleBall Steinberger Bass Strings
 | Double Ball version of the XL strings: machine-wound nickel plated roundwounds. Clear nickel tone that is bright without being harsh. Available in normal or soft gauge. |
Flatwound DoubleBall Steinberger Bass Strings
 | LaBella Double Ball Stainless Flatwounds One of the only double ball flatwound strings in existence, these strings from LaBella are a great way to get a darker, warmer, flatwound sound out of your steinberger or other headless bass. |
Nylon Tapewound Double Ball Bass Strings
 | LaBella Double Ball Nylon Tapewound Strings One of the only nylon tapewound options in existence for Steinberger basses. Many steinbergers, especially the new Synapse models, have a bright sound that is enhanced by the EMG pickup. Nylon strings can really create a darker, warmer character. Kudos to LaBella for providing this option. |
