Help Identify Strings

Sign in to disble this ad
A friend of mine has a set of strings on his P-bass that have a yellow winding, and they are a more high-tension string.

Any ideas on who might make these?

Fender's OEM Strings (7150s) Have yellow silk, but I wouldn't describe them as being tension-heavy. I did have a set of Boomer short scale strings that were actually yellow silked instead of the red I'm used to. They and the heavier gauges I've used have been a little tension heavy.

Were they flats? DR Flats have yellow-gold winding and they're fairly high-tension.

I've used SR2000s for 10 years. They are great strings. I would describe the silk as more of a "gold," but I guess you can call it light yellow. If the string is stainless steel and has a tapercore E, you may have found your answer.
