After reading this information about Paul McCartney, I checked with Hofner to make sure that these strings were acceptable to the truss rod adjusting range on Hofner basses, and 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.

La Bella Flat Wound Bass Strings for Hofner Beatle Basses - This is the exact style of LaBella flat wound strings as used on recent tours by Paul McCartney. This information about La Bella flat wound strings (referencing these specific gauges) was reported in the October 2005 Bass Player Magazine interview with Paul McCartney and his technical manager, Kevin Smith.
