La Bella 760NNHBB Beatle Bass Black Nylon Tape Wound Bass Strings, 50-100

The La Bella 760NNHBB Beatle Bass strings are black nylon tape wound strings (50-100) for the Hofner 500/1 and similar short scale hollow-body basses. The black nylon tape produces a slightly darker, warmer tone compared to the white tape 760THBB, with a bit more midrange body and a touch less brightness. If you want the Beatle bass thump with an even darker, more vintage character, these are your strings.

The smooth black nylon surface feels great and eliminates finger noise entirely. At 50-100 gauge, these strings are comfortable on the Hofner's unique floating bridge setup and deliver proper tension for clean intonation. The tone is deep, woody, and wonderfully old-school, perfect for British Invasion sounds, classic rock, and any music where a warm, pillow-like bass sound carries the groove. Handcrafted in New York, the 760NNHBB offers a slightly different flavor of the classic Beatle bass string experience.
