Old flats ID help needed

16notes · #1 02-10-2011, 06:44 PM

I just picked up this bass and love the old flats on it.
Any idea what they are? Silk is a yellow/gold color.

Thanks,

Donn

Can't see the picture, but if I recall correctly, Dean Markley flats had golden yellow silk. Don't know for sure, it's been a good 25 years since I sold them.

DR High Beam flats have silks that color. They have only been out for 4 years or so.

That would make sense, I had Dean Markley rounds with the exact same silk color. SR2000, and maybe nickelsteel too.

Still hoping to find out what I have here....

These string continue to get great comments in the studio and I am fearful one may break.

Any help much appreciated!

Yeah, the SRs look exactly like that.

I wouldn't be fearful about breaking a string. I haven't broken one in 40 years...
