Note: These are Medium Scale strings and have been designed for the HOFNER Beatle Bass with a .096 low “E” string. They WILL fit any of the original series German made basses.
They do NOT fit the Asian made Icon & Contemporary series. This is due to the tuning machines used on those models; the holes are too small for the strings.
Gauge
43-56-70-96
**PLEASE NOTE** These strings measure 35.25" / 895mm from Ball End to the start of the silk winding. These strings have red silk winding at both ends.
Here's what Thomastik Say;
Pursuing the perfect sound, Thomastik-Infeld starts with steel and nylon as core materials for their strings. The highly qualified technicians then wind and check every string by hand in order to insure quality and perfect tone. Infeld and his staff continually pursue the ever-changing musical world, applying the evolving preferences in timbre, technique, and playing to their own imagination in pursuit of delivering perfection.
Drawing from the upright bass, Thomastik-Infeld JF324H Flat Wound Short Scale HOFNER Bass Guitar Strings have a legendary sound that is all their own with a deep, balanced tone unique from other flatwound strings due to its special nickel alloy ribbon that wraps around its Spirocore. The highly flexible steel core is wrapped with a silk inlay giving it a deep tone and high out put comparable to the double bass.
“The outer winding is a true ribbon flatwound constructed of a special nickel alloy. The result is an incredible depth of tone and an enhanced fundamental which is unavailable from any other flatwound.”
