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?sloop_john_b wrote:TI's for me.

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?sloop_john_b wrote:The short scale Jazz Flats I believe; I got 'em from Chris.jps wrote:Which TIs?

Jeff, Chris will know the ones - give him a buzz on Tuesday.
Lowest tension? TI's. DO IT.
Brightest flats? You're missing the point, my friend.ben_brown wrote: What are the brightest flats?

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.ben_brown wrote:Meanwhile I've been trying to find a case for this thing....

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