What are the best strings for a Hofner bass?

Hofner strings, I forget who actually makes them but they're my favorites.

Which TIs? I have whatever came on mine when I got it (flatwounds with dark green silk) and I would like some options. Do the JF324 fit a Höfner fine?

The short scale Jazz Flats I believe; I got 'em from Chris.

I didn't know there were "short scale" Jazz Flats! The shortest I can find are 32" 'medium scale' JFs, JF324. If that is what you have, then I assume that they fit just fine?

So I've been told.....

What are the brightest flats?
What are the least tension flats?

Jeff, Chris will know the ones - give him a buzz on Tuesday.

Brightest flats? You're missing the point, my friend.

Lowest tension? TI's. DO IT.

LaBella Deep Talkin'
Been on over a year and still the cat's maoiw.
Before that, I tried Pyramid and was not happy.

Pyramids are way too much tension....IMHO

Meanwhile I've been trying to find a case for this thing....
NO ONE has a case for the Club!
....except maybe Hofner.....and that's a $300 case.

I've been having the same issue here, Steve. May have to splurge, unfortunately.

What about a Les Paul Bass Case...Isn't that body shape close to a Club?
