Having recently purchased a Höfner bass and learning that the bass had a 30 inch scale, I decided to play it safe and get strings from the same manufacturer.
The strings are great quality and sound excellent. I’ve never had any issues with tuning stability or breakage and find these strings last a good length of time.
They may be suitable for other basses of the same scale length, I can’t speak for longer or shorter scale lengths, but they’re the perfect strings for my Höfner. I’ll be using these every time I need a new set.

When it's time for a change, these strings will go on a (almost new but new to me) Hofner Contemporary series Verythin bass, 500/7 short scale.
The instrument's almost certainly fitted with them anyway as the feel of the strings is the same and they both have the dark-ish green silks.
As a dedicated flat wound string user, I'm surprised how good they are. One thing that's immediately obvious is the much reduced finger noise and relatively smooth feel.
Anyone using Hofner short scale basses would be well advised to buy a pack if they are ordering from Thomann, simply because of the price!

Tried and tested, use these regularly for gigging and have not had string failure yet. Although I replace after every 10 - 12 gigs. Tried various other strings including Pyramid gold flatwound but have suffered string failure, sometimes after only 5 or 6 gigs. Good overall sound for the money.
