What I am trying to do now. Very satisfied with the Labella Low Tension Flexible flats. Especially now that the B string sounds better.
Hope they hang in there a couple years.

I'll be very surprised if they don't still sound good 10+ years from now.

Took some time and checked every fret on my tuner...just because you get the twelfth fret in doesn't mean the rest of the speaking length rings true.
The intonation was still pretty wacky...I just ordered a standard Labella 128 for the B string. Hopefully it will ring truer.
patman:
Labella is sending a new string...pretty awesome customer service
patman:
Figured it out-
Idiot operator error...
Pickups were too close to strings...strings are supple and very magnetic...pickups have huge very powerful magnets...
Cranked them down almost all the way and weird overtones and intonation issues go away...
Boy I feel stupid
