The legendary brand teamed up with Ian Allison
La Bella Strings is proud to unveil the Ian Martin Allison Signature Super Polished Set—a fresh take on our classic stainless steel recipe, tailored for one of today’s most versatile bass players.
“When Ian approached us, he was after a feel that blended the punch of stainless round wounds with the buttery smoothness of flats. We kept the essence, then fine-tuned the formula: adjusted gauges, left just a touch more edge on the wrap for clarity, and added Ian’s custom pink and gray silk wraps.”
The result? A polished stainless steel round wound set that leans roundwound in tone but delivers the smooth playability Ian needs for both studio and stage. His verdict after months on tour:
“Did you guys just build the perfect string?!”
