Which Flat am I playing? Doh!

[SlimT]

I just put a set of flats on my Sterling w/SR pu.

The strings are really fat and have silver silk.

I've got another set I took off another bass and they are blue silk. I'm pretty sure those are chromes.

It would have been nice if I had written down what the strings were when I pulled them off, because now I have no clue what kind of strings they are.

I know they aren't GHS or Fender, but what could they be?

Just curious.

TIA

The chromes will have blue silk and the multi-coloured string balls, unless they are really old.

Fender flats have silk at the ball end and no silk at the tuner end. At least the 9050Ms that I bought where like that.

LaBellas 760FLs have red silk and the 760FS have black silk.

Sorry, can't think of any with silver silk.

Thanks, Sean.

I think I may have figured it out.

I bought a set of Dean Markley Flats over a year ago and they were 50-70-... This might be them. Though I can't seem to find the silk color for these anywhere.

Sadowsky flats are silver.
