Please help me to identify these strings

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm hoping someone can answer my question.

I want to upgrade the pickups on my Japanese 62 re-issue Jazz Bass, and get it professionally set up. I love the flat-wounds that are on there at the moment, but I put them on over two years ago and can't remember which brand or type they are. In case anything goes wrong and I am unable to re-string the bass with these strings, I would like to replace them with the same strings new.

Can anyone help idenify them for me? They are flatwound, I think medium guage, and have BLUE silk wrap around the headstock end. At the bridge they have different coloured plastic washers for each string:

E=GOLD A=RED D=BLACK G=GREEN

I have a feeling they might be daddario, but as I said, I can't remember (should have kept the package, doh!)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Gregg

Daddario Chromes. The gauges are one thing though. The colored ball ends and blue silk wraps are dead give aways.
