Mystery flats

[ric426]

I've got an unknown set of flats that came on a used bass I bought a while back. I finally tried 'em out and they're not half bad, but I have no idea what kind they are or who makes them. All I can tell you is that they're flats with blue silk at each end and the gauges are .050 .070 .085 .105.
Anyone have any clues?

If it is a light blue they might be d'Addario chromes

Color of the ball ends?

Someone...doesn't Ernie Ball Flats have blue silk?

[Phalex]

I know Dean Markley does. Not sure of Ernie Ball.

Yeah, if they have multi-colored ball ends then they are probably Chromes.

Nope, the ball ends are brass. The windings are a darker but not quite navy blue.

Sounds like Group II Ernie Ball flats. I just put a set of Group II flats on my new Stingray and it sounds great.
