La Bella 760FHB2 Beatle Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wound Bass Strings, 39-96

The La Bella 760FHB2 Beatle Bass strings are stainless steel flatwound strings in an extra light gauge (39-96) for the Hofner 500/1 violin bass and similar short scale basses. These ultra-light gauges make the Hofner incredibly easy to play, with minimal finger pressure needed for clean fretting. If you find standard Beatle bass strings too stiff, this lighter set opens up the instrument's playability considerably.

The stainless steel flatwound construction delivers a warm, smooth tone with more definition than tape wounds, while the lighter gauges give a slightly brighter, more responsive character. The smooth flatwound surface feels great and keeps finger noise out of your signal. These strings are particularly nice for players with a lighter touch or those who want faster action on their Hofner. Handmade in New York, the 760FHB2 is for Beatle bass enthusiasts who prioritize ease of play alongside that classic vintage tone.
