The last set of strings you’ll ever have to buy for your Höf!

These strings will make your Höfner (or similar) bass come to life! You’ll get that vintage sound instantly! LaBella flats lasts forever, so this is probably the last set of strings you’ll ever have to buy for your Höfner!

Deep mellow and a bit dark sound

I have these on an Ibanez artcore AFB hollowbody bass. They sound almost like an upright bass. Very smooth and easy to play. Suitable for vintage deep mellow and a bit dark sounding I would say, not suitable for every taste

Perfect Strings for the Beatle Bass

I ordered these flat wound strings along with the Harley Benton BeatBass VS. They fit perfectly and changed the sound of the bass in a very good way.

I typically use round wound strings on my instruments, but for the BeatBass VS, the flat wound La Bella 760 FHBB strings added to the "old-school" sound I was looking for.

I plan on trying the lighter gauge La Bella 760 FHBB-2 as well.

I highly recommend either gauge of the La Bella FHBB strings if you are searching for the original Beatles Sound out of the Harley Benton BeatBass VS-- or any other violin type bass!

The best strings

Put these flatwounds on a Hofner Club Bass and it really gives you a sound similar to a double bass when played with your fingers. With a pick it sounds like most 60s songs. I'd put these on anything now, by far the best flats.

Fat Vintage Tone

I've bought these strings for a Harley Benton Beatbass. They are the right length for that bass.

They give me a very rich fat tone and feel good on the fingers.

Good strings, but...

These strings are overall good, sound how they should sound, i love them. The only issue I had was dead lower e string. Shit happens, you know.. Otherwise La Bella string were always better quality product and sounded some levels above the others..

Warm and rich

Warm & rich in the lower register, a double bass in the upper one. Highly recommend. Bass soloing after the 12th fret is overdoing it anyway. Stay low & be cool.

Second best Hofner strings

Good choice for the Hofner Violin bass, but a little stiffer and less warm sounding than the original Hofner strings. Personally I prefer the original Hofner strings because they play easier and sound richer than the La Bella's.

Just the strings you need for your Beatle bass!

I've been using La Bella on my Hofner violin bass for a year now and it's the thing if you want that rubbery Rubber soul bass sound! Strings are flatwound and very smooth under your fingers. Still no signs of rust or wear...
