So:
- Roundwounds
- Brass Ball End
- Grey thread at the ends (both)
- Taperwound E (only) but there is a very thin wound on the core of the string.
- They sound great
- Felt like nickel, but could be steel
Got them in a LaBella SuperSteps 45-128 box, but I don't think that they are LaBellas...
I love the strings and want to get them back, but I don't know what brand they are...
Any help?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Timisoara, Romania | | | P.S. Another detail. The string ends were very long, I had about 5-6 windings on my peg head. And, they felt very strange (in a good way) like elastic...
So? Does anybody disagree that they are not Fender 8250s?
If not, I'm gonna buy them back again, but I don't want to buy them again until I know for sure that these strings were Fender.
Thanks

both have a taperwounded e-string, but whereas the 7250s seem to have a hexcore, the 8250s have a roundcore. at least that's what's stated on the fender website. you might also have a look at http://fender.com/products/search.ph...at=bassstrings |

This is now on their website : 
VS. 
So, once again: Can anyone confirm me that these strings are Fender 8250s?
Thank you

I have special ordered these from Fender and they come with 110TW "E"'s. I played My Victor Bailey out last night and that's what's on that bass.   Scroll down to the very bottom to see string specs.

Got it, but can you confirm me that the strings described above are 8250's?

They also certainly don't sound like supersteps. Maybe they're a European made string that isn't familiar with up in the states? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
