The La Bella 760RHBB Beatle Bass strings are stainless steel roundwound strings (50-100) sized for the Hofner 500/1 violin bass and similar short scale hollow-body basses. While tape wounds give you that classic thumpy McCartney tone, roundwounds open up a brighter, more modern tonal palette on the same instrument. You get more definition, more finger articulation, and a growly midrange that works great for rock and pop.

Stainless steel construction delivers bright, aggressive highs with plenty of sustain, a big departure from the muted warmth of tape wounds. This set is perfect for Hofner players who want more presence and cut in a band setting, or who play styles that demand more tonal clarity from the bass. At 50-100, the tension is appropriate for the Hofner's short scale and floating bridge. Handmade in New York, the 760RHBB proves that a Beatle bass can do more than just thump.
