Um... Can't remember what kind of strings I had...

Backstory: A while ago, when I joined my first band, I switched from my trusty Yamaha BBG5S to a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass and didn't look back. My old baby basically went neglected for sixth months or so. Then, when I went to college, it sat in a studio unattended for nine more months. Criminal, I know.

Well, I finally got this back after a long struggle with my former guitarist, and picking it up, I realize that I took my baby for granted. This bass freakin' rocks, and feels awesome, even if I grew off of 5 strings. But the strings - oh man. These strings have been on it for more than a year, and they still sing. Problem is, I forget what kind they are!

I want to change them eventually, but I wanted the same variety. I don't think there's any way to identify the manufacturer. All I know is that they were inexpensive, nice and bendy (the way I like it), and with low action, PERFECT for my newfound love of tapping. I don't remember if these are the same strings that came on it, since I bought it secondhand. I'm tempted to say Ernie Ball or D'addario for some reason, but I dunno.

Any clue as to what kind of strings they might be (from what normally ships with Yamahas, general bendiness at a low price, etc)? I wanna break her in again.
