760FHB2 Deep Talkin Stainless Steel Flats Wound “Beatle” Bass Guitar String 39-96

I love these strings! They're durable and maintain a beautiful tone. So definite longevity. My only complaint is they take a while to "break in", but I suppose that's true for any strings.

Smooth as silk and sound great. Love ‘em.

Well made, slick flat wound strings - great tone. This is what your Hoffer needs - a set of light gauge strings. They are great.

At the recommendation of several sources on the internet, I bought these to replace the probably cheap round wound strings that came with my Rogue VB100. They absolutely improved the playability of the instrument and produce a softer tone. They were a bit expensive but if you keep them clean these stainless strings are said to last a lot longer than nickel or steel strings. I am not a professional, I mostly play at home for fun but I am happy with these. They are a definite improvement over the original strings.

Great sounding strings! The strings that came on my Hofner Violin bass had this super thuddy E string which I’ve read is sort of characteristic of these basses but I couldn’t intonate that string at all and it just sounded so dead and muffled compared to the other strings which I didn’t really like. These strings solved that problem! Intonated super easily and sound way better in my oppionon. E is no longer dead and lifeless.

Great strings

I recently purchased one of the new (2021) Hofner Ignition PRO Club basses. One of their distinguishing features is that the come stock with flats. Unfortunately the factory flatwounds on this new model left a lot to be desired. The E string was completely dead, and sounded like someone smacking the side of a timpani with a manila folder (no fundamental, lots of weird harmonics). It’s no secret that Hofner flats are usually Pyramids, but in the case of this new budget model, I seem to doubt it. Having never owned a Hofner before, I researched available options and landed on these. Let me tell you, it was a good choice. The feel of the strings is supple and remind me of the TI’s I have on my precision. The tone is balanced from string to string. They are way easier to intonate than the factory set. Tension on the light set is just about perfect. And most importantly, they sound thick but defined. With the bass solo switch engaged, they thump hard. With the treble solo switch engaged, they can cop a great tic-tac sound. They are incredibly versatile and complement each of the Hofner’s modes very well.

Excellent flat strings

Tenía mis dudas pero una vez instaladas y comprobado el sonido, es justo lo que buscaba, tiene un sonido a contrabajo muy chulo además tiene ese sonido vintage que en muchas piezas musicales de la época queda muy acorde con el instrumento y pieza musical Satisfactorio y muy recomendable. Buena calidad.

These flat wound strings offer a silky smooth feel and deliver that classic 60s sound.

Paul McCartneyの音を再現するならラ・ベラ一択です。私はホフナーの一番安いモデルに着けましたが正しくポールの音でした。

These LaBella strings are as good if not better than the originals. Super smooth to the touch and every note rings out clear including the E string.

Prologo: Entrato in una bella tribute band dei Beatles, dopo diversi anni passati tra rock pop jazz e quant'altro, ho dovuto, per forza di cose, acquistare ciò che mancava nel mio parco strumenti: un Violin Bass Hofner, iconico e riconoscibilissimo, ma, ahimè non esattamente un basso dal suono che prediligo.... costretto quindi dalla scelta imprescindibile, e contemporaneamente esaltato dalle linee GENIALI di sir Paul, dopo un primo "live" con buon risultato, ho sentito il bisogno di "spingere" l'esperienza un po' oltre: come far suonare bene questo basso che ha un elettronica un po' limitata, mantenendo il sound tipicamente anni 60 richiesto dal genere? e la risposta è in queste corde, che da sole hanno migliorato del tutto il suono, rendendolo bello, corposo, profondo ma nitido e soprattutto, rendendolo molto simile a quello sentito nelle registrazioni all'Abbey Road Studio. le corde sono fantastiche, la tensione è perfetta e sono belle anche al tatto. Sono pensate proprio per l'Hofner, che ha delle meccaniche quasi da "chitarrina", e quindi si assottigliano molto all'altezza delle chiavette. costano, è vero, ma ogni euro speso vale: inoltre si sa, le corde lisce hanno una durata quasi senza limiti. le consiglio non solo per questo basso comunque, ma anche su fretless che cercano un suono molto "deep". soddisfazione garantita.
