I respectfully disagree from the personal experiences and buying of new basses these past three years.
I have bought new basses and had people sell me these strings from their own new machines when they instantly rip them off when they get their new MII Squire and MIM Fender bass home, for some other brand -
both red and black silks
They are BOTH advertised as 'Fender 7250 NPS' strings and they come red or black and even some as no-silks at all. This is on BOTH the Fender and the Squier sites too.
It all goes to prove that Fender has nothing more than input from whomever is really making these strings for them.
Kinda like this: "Sell us some strings that fit the bass and we don't care what they are as we will sell them as original strings on every bass we sell and still call them "7250 NPS" strings.
Translated, this prolly means that they are long enough.
Personally, I like the red silks a tad better, but the nakeds (no silks) ones suck big ones! Lots of string whiz and clank and otherwise obnoxious metallic noises that aren't part of a bass guitar AFAIAC.
The OE strings with just colored beads are totally junk as far as I can say.
Just in case you think this is a 'Squier-only' situation, it's not.
I do NOT believe that one can buy the red silk '7250's' from any aftermarket retailer, not even Fender.
