I got these strings to change out the wire-wound I had on my Hofner Violin Bass. The new sound is terrific!!! They give a much more 60's (Beatle) sound to my baselines. Thomann provide a great service - as always. I tries to get these string at various Music Shops in UK, but they either didn't stock them, or they were too expensive. Thank you Thomann!!

This set of Hofner strings do work so well on my Harley Benton Beat Bass, (kind of copy of the Beatles Hofner) that it would be a shame not to spent the money and effort. The set of flatwound strings sounds, feels and plays absolutely right.

Brilliant Flats!

Best value for money bass strings. Especially the flatwounds sound brilliant & the softer tension make playability no effort - Used to use a well know British brand until I discovered these Hofner strings.

I wasted 50-years playing round wound and being annoyed at the finger wear and tendency to stick when I want to move fast. These strings are just great, I can play as fast as I want to and for much longer.

Great strings

Wanted to change to flatwound and these are ideal.
Have tried several other brands on other basses, but these are excellent quality for the price.

Amazing sound
Anonymous 23.10.2023
Upgraded the stock strings of my Harley Benton Beatbass for these and it made a huge different, not only in sound but also how good it feels playing.
I am very satisfied, specially considering how cheap these strings are when compared to other flatwound options around.
Totally recommend it.

Macca's tone

A short scale bass, a pick and these flats, and you can nail the percussive, smooth and virtually sustain-free sound of Macca's Höfner.

They're a natural fit for my HCT-500/1 "Beetle bass". I'm new to flatwound strings but they deliver the tone I was expecting.
