Gold Flatwound 040-100 : Perfect Combination

Playing a 500/1 Hofner Beatles Bass a bass player is seeking the original vintage tone those instruments give: deep low-end with some mids resulting in a tone wich makes its way. The original Hofner strings are Pyramids, too. When someone wants to save some money he or she should buy this set of strings. Compared to - for example - LaBella Flatwounds which are way more middle driven the Pyramids are deep bottom end sounding very dry and woody and give the original feeling of the bass tone you seek for this instrument. No highs that should not be there, this is the only real vintage tone you can get for this instrument. The strings feel very comfortable and they are not too strong to pull with the fingers. Yes, you can even play this bass with fingerpicking and it gives you a very unique and great warm bass tone. To have more click-clack use a pic.
