help me figure out what strings they are..

[spiderB52]

I bought Warwick Thumb bass (used) few years ago and haven't changed my string since. I want to put the same strings. It has a RED cloth where you string around the tuner. Is this warwick strings??

I'm not sure what Warwick uses on their basses, but I remember Rotosound strings having the red wrap on the strings. So maybe they are Rotosounds?

Looks very rotosound to me, prob a 45-105 set ...

they have that GHS Bass Boomer look to them also.

When you restring your bass, make sure the strings are put on properly. The way they are strung in the photo is incorrect. That is how you string a guitar, not a bass.

ok i will check on roto or ghs boomers ... but what do you mean by thats how you string a guitar not a bass?? is it the tuner side or the bridge side?? ya!! right!! all my other basses have strings in the hole of a tuner!!
I just touched it and the string came off so easily!! THANKS!!

Who put those strings on?, Stevie wonder? Jeez man.

I am gonna have to say that those are not rotos.

Rotos have a red wrap on the botton end by the ball to, just like a 1/2 inch or so of it.

Unless they used to be made this way, they are most likely not rotos.

This is a pic off of Musicians friend of Swing 66 strings

P.S. Rotos Rock

with the fat ball side ends with no silk, looks like Boomers to me,.

GHS boomers
