These strings are designed for short scale basses (30 inch scale) such as the Hofner Beatle Bass, and are not long enough for full scale basses. These strings may be used on the Hofner Icon and Contemporary Series Beatle Basses.

The October 2005 issue of Bass Player Magazine featured an interview with Paul McCartney. As a part of this interview, McCartney's longtime technical director, Kevin Smith, offered some insights about Paul's Hofner Beatle Bass. Smith explained that Paul McCartney "favors" La Bella flat wound strings for his Beatle Bass, gauged .039, .056, .077, and .096.
I was assured by Hofner that these strings are safe to install on all Hofner German basses, along with the Icon and Contemporary basses as well.
