Forgot what strings I have....

I know, i'm a bonehead.
I like to experiment with strings, still in search of a favorite. Unfortunately, I think i've found my favorite for my Sadowsky Metro..... but don't know what the he!! they are

I've had them on for a long time and still love the sound of these strings.
All I know, is they have purple silk windings and I believe them to be nickel. I'm thinking maybe La Bella... er, maybe not.
Any of you fine fella's help me? Please.
Thanks.

Well, after using that neat search feature

...
I found out that they are TI Powerbass strings.
Figures, can't be some inexpesive strings that I fall in love with

Any TI users out there know the cheapest place to get them online? If a place exists.

I bought my TI Jazz flats here for cheaper than any other place that I could find. It might have just been a holiday sale though. Worth checking out.

Edit: The power bass strings there are $42.95

Also, search eBay for "Strings and beyond coupon code" and you should be able to get another discount on top... worked for me.

Here's a tip I gave people when I managed a guitar store. Everytime you re-string, put the string wrapper in the case and write down the date you put them on. That way if you like them you can get the same thing again. And if you hate them, you can avoid accidentally buying the same things again.

Yeah, the date is a good idea. I usually throw the package in my case, but for some reason didn't do it this time. TB makes you careless
