String suggestions for Epiphone Voila bass

[dhudson]

I just had a look at my own beatle bass. Could you not replace the tailpiece? I think any other tailpiece would accomodate the larger ball ends. They can be had from many outlets for little money and they all look much the same except hofner ones which are different.

May be a good option. Thanks. Any particulars on where to look for a replacement?

I'm in Europe and happy to use ebay. An example Adjustable 4 Strings Trapeze Tailpiece with Screws for Bass Archtop Guitar | eBay

If you are in the states and don't want to buy from China, maybe someone over there could recommend a source.

I think the one you have will work fine. Try it first.
