Good thumpy stuff

superklamp 10.06.2025

Wanted to try these to see whether the extra 10, 15, sometimes 20€ other manufacturers charge for their sets of flatwounds really makes a big difference. Honestly, can't feel much of a difference (though I'm not really the picky type).

These Höfner strings are wonderful, nice and warm, as thumpy as you like on attack but able to ring out nice and clear for quite some time if you let them.

Don't know yet how long they'll last, it's only been a couple of weeks but they seem solid and I don't think they'll need changing anytime soon (if ever). They're flats :)

Excellent value for money, get yourself a pair!

Nice, but not quite there

JPGuitar 26.10.2026

I bought the wonderful Höfner HI-VB-SB bass and, of course, wanted to try the Höfner strings indicated for my bass. I bought this pack but also a set of Pyramid Gold flatwounds that I kept reading great things about. I first set up the bass for the Höfner strings; they felt nice but really thin, requiring either a very light touch or maybe a really high action - and I wasn't prepared to go that way. So after an hour I swaped the strings for the other set. I must say the default (roundwound) strings felt suprisingly nice. I kept them and I'm not excluding trying them again in the futuree.

Look and sound amazing

These strings produce a nice warm vintage sound, and also feel nicer to play. They sound buttery and last for ages without having to replace them.
