I got an email from MF today advertising another 105/15% off sale so I looked to see if any LaBellas were included. Before I narrowed it down, I noticed that Chromes were now $40. What? They had been at about $25-28. So I looked at the XL Nickel Rounds and saw that a 2-pack of 45-105s is now $38. It had been $25. Checked their guitar strings, they are also up 25% or more. Checked with Bass Strings Online (my usual source), Sweetwater, and American Musical/zzounds, same story.
LaBella and Ernie Ball have not increased their prices.
