hey guys, i was testing out this fretless bass today which had some black flatwound strings on them. not like tape wound but like DR black beauties in flatwound form. i was wondering what brand it was. it had orange cloth on the ends if that helps. thanks!

I know they make black strings so might have been them?

Black Beauties aren't flatwound.

Rotosound Black Nylon Tapewounds perhaps...the ones I have are wrapped with yellow at the top...maybe LaBella Black Tapewounds?

those were not tape wound. felt like metal to me. like flatwound black beauties which don't exist...
