I ordered these flat wound strings along with the Harley Benton BeatBass VS. They fit perfectly and changed the sound of the bass in a very good way.
I typically use round wound strings on my instruments, but for the BeatBass VS, the flat wound La Bella 760 FHBB strings added to the "old-school" sound I was looking for.
I plan on trying the lighter gauge La Bella 760 FHBB-2 as well.
I highly recommend either gauge of the La Bella FHBB strings if you are searching for the original Beatles Sound out of the Harley Benton BeatBass VS-- or any other violin type bass!

Fat Vintage Tone
E. Francis 11.01.2020
I've bought these strings for a Harley Benton Beatbass. They are the right length for that bass.
They give me a very rich fat tone and feel good on the fingers.

Genuine 60s sound!
Arlo 23.07.2015
These strings are a dream on my Hofner violin bass. A warm, rich, powerful, round tone with huge dynamic range. Silky smooth to play. Apparently Paul McCartney himself used these in the 60s and I can believe it! These strings certainly have that genuine 60s sound.

The best strings
Zizzu01 22.05.2020
Put these flatwounds on a Hofner Club Bass and it really gives you a sound similar to a double bass when played with your fingers. With a pick it sounds like most 60s songs. I'd put these on anything now, by far the best flats.

Warm and rich
TheSupervillain 12.11.2018
Warm & rich in the lower register, a double bass in the upper one. Highly recommend. Bass soloing after the 12th fret is overdoing it anyway. Stay low & be cool.

Just the strings you need for your Beatle bass!
Josip J 30.01.2018
I've been using La Bella on my Hofner violin bass for a year now and it's the thing if you want that rubbery Rubber soul bass sound! Strings are flatwound and very smooth under your fingers. Still no signs of rust or wear...

The last set of strings you’ll ever have to buy for your Höf!
raymondness 28.02.2024
These strings will make your Höfner (or similar) bass come to life! You’ll get that vintage sound instantly! LaBella flats lasts forever, so this is probably the last set of strings you’ll ever have to buy for your Höfner!
