Need help IDing strings on new (used) Bass!

RBrownBass · #1 05-14-2008, 04:58 PM

FedEx brought my Brice Z6 (eBay purchase) this morning. It has nice sounding strings, but the E and B are taperwound and they are intended for a 34" scale bass, so the tapered part extends over the nut about 7-8mm toward the first fret. I don't know what brand they are, or what gauge, but the balls on the end are different colors. I need to replace the B and E with ths same strings, but longer for a 35er. Going from B to C, and balls are purple, gold, red, black, green and pink (looks like pink to me).

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

I don't know of any company other than D'addario that uses colored ball ends.

Yeah, sounds most definitely like D'addario to me.

I have a similar problem with a used bass. I got a Lakland 55=02 and love it, but I will need new strings soon and would prefer to replace what I have with what I have.

Now the catch, I don't know these strings. I'm guessing these are Lakland in-house strings. They are rounds and have a yellow-gold wrap.
