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!

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.

gute Flatwounds
mikethebass 17.04.2025
Diese Flatwounds habe ich für meinen Höfner Contemporary Club Bass bestellt. Als ich den Bass vor ein paar Jahren (gebraucht) gekauft hatte, habe ich die damaligen HCT Flatwounds getestet und war sehr enttäuscht. Daher hatte ich jeweils die günstigen Höfner Roundwounds gespielt, die jeweils sehr gut funktioniert haben.
Für mich überraschend gab es jetzt diese neuen Steel-Flatwounds von Höfner zum fairen Preis. Ich bin nach dem ersten Spielen begeistert! Die Saiten passen alle sehr gut zusammen. Bislang war die E-Saite komplett anders als die ADG. Die Oberfläche ist absolut glatt geschliffen und spielt sich super.
Sie sind nicht ganz so dumpf im Klang und hören sich nach meinem Empfinden sehr gut an. Mal schauen, wie (und ob) sie sich auf die Dauer verändern.
Vermutlich habe ich meine neuen Lieblingssaiten gefunden!

He notado mucho la diferencia al hacer slide, los dedos se deslizan mucho más suave, el sonido de 10, la longitud de las cuerdas son perfectas para cualquier bajo Hofner de escala corta, incluido el shorty violín, que fue en mi caso.
