La Bella 760FHBB Beatle Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wound Bass Strings, 50-100

The La Bella 760FHBB Beatle Bass strings are stainless steel flatwound strings (50-100) made for the Hofner 500/1 violin bass and similar instruments. Flatwounds sit tonally between roundwounds and tape wounds, giving you a smooth playing surface with more definition and midrange presence than tape wounds, but without the brightness and finger noise of roundwounds. It's a versatile middle ground that many Hofner players gravitate toward.

Stainless steel flatwound construction provides a warm, punchy tone with controlled sustain and a smooth, polished feel under the fingers. You get more note clarity than tape wounds while retaining that vintage, thumpy character that makes the Hofner bass special. The 50-100 gauge is optimized for the instrument's short scale and floating bridge. Handcrafted in La Bella's New York facility, the 760FHBB is an excellent choice for Hofner players who want the classic vibe with a bit more tonal articulation.
