Need help ID silkless rounds

Sign in to disble this ad
I need help to' identify the strings that came with my used AV62 P bought on the 'bay. No clue from the seller.
These are silkless rounds with brass ball ends. I'd say they have a medium tension and a full, round, clear tone. They're pretty old, have fret signs on them, but I didn't say they're what originally came from the factory (bass is from 2005 BTW) because the E string was cut too short, it allows just one turn and half around the peghead.
I'd first tought at DR strings but I have at home a set of nickel low-rider and they're different at the bridge end: I don't know how to' proper tell it in English ... The metal wrap after the ball end is wider than the actual string gauge ... Here's a pic:



Any help will be appreciated.

Ernie Ball strings are very common and don't have silk.

La Bella rounds look exactly like that at the ball end (they look kind of "roughly" wound), but I think La Bellas all have silk.

Years ago I used Labella DTB and these strings remind me of them both tension and soundwise but DTB do have red silk at the tuners end.
