La Bella Electric Bass Guitar Hofner Beatle Bass Black Nylon Tapewound .060 - .115, 760NHBBstar rating 5Ed WaldenJanuary 7, 2010Installed on a new Beatle Bass in December, have used them only one month. Very pleased -- sound good. I have a tendency to slide my fingers and produce unwanted hiss. These strings produce almost no hiss. I have used La Bella nylon wrapped on other electric basses for years with the same good results. Sound always deep and smooth, no twang.
