ID these strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
When I bought a used bass a couple of weeks ago, it had non-factory strings on it (of course). They need to be replaced, but I'm actually pretty happy with the construction and sound and I'm contemplating replacing them with new strings of the same brand. The store had no idea, so I'm hoping perhaps someone here could take a swag at it.

My guess is that the red wraps indicate GHS boomers, which I've used before and am OK with. But I'm sure there are other strings with the same construction, so...

Here are two threads with pics. Hopefully you can see the strings well enough:

New (to me!) Ibanez 5-string - model?
B string intonation/action

I wouldnt necessarily go by the silk color. Ive got a set of TI Superalloy strings that are red as well. Would be tough...did you try contacting the seller?

The store where I bought it picked it up with a group of unrelated music gear, so we don't know who the seller is.

Could be Rotosound as well.

What kind of music are you playing?

Classic rock/folk, mainly. I roll the highs off because I'm looking for a nice fat round tone - in fact I've been considering flats for at least one of my basses for that reason.
