Which strings have yellow/tan windings?

I got a pair of these strings w/ an MIJ jazz bass recently. The seller couldn't remember which string brand they were, but they are definitely stainless steel. He said they might be fender stainless steel strings.. Any confirmation? They sound surprisingly well and I'd like to pickup another pair. Thanks

Fender nickel's have a yellow-ish winding.
Dean Markley Signature Series NPS does as well. More of a golden tan I think you would call it.

MTD strings have yellow winding and they are some of the best strings I've ever tried

Dean Markley SR2000 and Dean Markley Super Round both have yellow/gold silk wraps.

I was going to say this as well, as I've used these strings quite a bit... I'm probably going to go back to using them as they were undoubtedly my favorite strings... lasted forever as well.

those look just like my Dean Markley SR200s, which are amazing strings by the way

I'm thinking the same thing.. Mainly because they're stainless steel, and also because fender has yellow windings on their nickel brands (not sure about their stainless)..

Hmm, they aren't tapered at the bridge.. Might not be Dean Markleys afterall

If they are not Taper wound: Dean Markley Super Round. Almost sure!
