Help ID'ing flats

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi folks
I have a set of strings that came on a used bass, when I went to re-install them on another instrument, the G string broke....I would like to find a single string to replace it, but have no idea as to what they are...

I am hoping that someone can help me figure out which brand of Flatwound bass strings have GOLD colored wrappings?

Thanks !
Godfather

Hey how are you, Freeman ?....

You know, it's possible these came from you !?.....Either way, thanks for the 411 ( or was that 420? )

I'm good, detoxing while kicking the GAS. Give those strings a chance. IMHO they sound great, alot like Sadowskys. Both were slightly too high a tension for me.
