Those have the sound i have been looking for.

I installed these on Harley Benton Beatbass but they were too short. So i bought a new hofner styled longer bridge and now they are sitting nicely. Low E string is much thumpyer than the A,D and G, but i have heard that once the other three strings break in the sound will get more even. This is the sound i have been looking for. Dark, thumpy, mellow.

Absolutely fantastic thumpiness

Of course, I bought this with the Hofner ignition bass, and it sounds perfect with a little mix in the Daw its beyond godlike of bass sounds. it's my first time owning one and this string feel really smoother than I thought.

Amazing strings, great value

I use the strings on my Höfner Beatles bass. They simply sound amazing and last very long. Very good for palm muting and groovy rifts.

Smooth

These are great sounding, well balanced and very smooth to play. I've never tried flats before but I think I kinda hit the top shelf here. Lots of fun to play for hours and hours without getting sore finger tips!

Classic vintage sound

Definitely the go-to flatwounds for the Höfner violin bass, if you're looking for that vintage muted/rubbery sound.

60?70s sound

Best thing you can get to make your bass sound better. By better I mean more like Paul McCartney. Lovely feel bit weird at first. Great quality and sound excellent. Thats it.

Fantastic Strings

Great strings for that classic retro sound, or alternatively, how a bass should sound. Fitted them onto a Hofner Violin Bass and it rocks. Great depth and great for all genres. Great!!

As the name says they are GOLd. Beautiful feel and sound. 60's sound on Hofner Contemporary Bass. Top price but also top product. K

Vintage sound at it's best!

If you have a short scale, better if it's a Höfner, this are your strings. They sound really cool, old school, thumpy and warm right out of the pack. They last forever!

Great strings for a great bass

I have a Hofner Club bass but was not happy with the sound. Although it gave a deep bass sound with the original strings on-board, I was looking for a double bass sound. This I found by buying a set of Pyramid Golf Flat-wound strings, 040-100. This certainly did the trick. As well as playing with no string noise, I get perfect slides up and down the neck. I am now smitten with flat-wound strings and changing the round-wounds on my other basses
