Can anyone help ID these strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
I received a 5 string bass a few years ago with a set of strings that sound great and I'm trying to determine what brand they are. They appear to be steel, they have no silk wrapping, and they are all tapered at the ball end except for the G string. I asked the seller and at first he said they're Rotosound, but they don't match the description. Then he said they're Dean Markley Blue Steels. I can't seem to find anything definite about them on the web.

Anyone have an idea what brand they might be? Your help is much appreciated!

Dean Markley sounds right. I don't know about the tapering everywhere but the G, but that does sound accurate.
