Sign in to disble this ad
These strings came on my Stingray (I bought it used). They sound good on there, but they're getting worn out. The thing is... I have no idea what they are. They are roundwound (presumably nickle), have light green silks at the tuner end, silver anchors, and no silks at the bridge end.
Anybody seen these before?

CORRECTION:
I just looked when I got home and saw that the white silk is, like yours, only on the peg end. So that might be a consistent Dean Markley trait.

The silks on the Skullbusters are darker than the strings that are currently on my bass. The question still stands.
