Older for sure! I haven't seen those since the 80's

Those came out in the early '80s (my Vintage Series '62 Precision which I bought in April '83 shipped with a set of the Studio Bass flats). The rounds were the stock strings on non-Vintage Series basses at the time. They were gone from the line around the time that CBS sold the company to FMIC I think. For $10, as long as they've not corroded over time, it's worth a shot. Just don't get hooked on 'em and then go crazy trying to find more!
