Really curious what kind of flatwounds the bassist for The New Mastersounds is using. They have medium/dark blue silk wrappings but I can't tell if they have wrappings on the ball end, which would indicate them being Chromes. Here are two pics where you can see the wrappings. Warning, second picture is very large. http://www.flickr.com/photos/new_mas...95619/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/new_mas...23510/sizes/o/

Edit ... I'll 4th chromes!

Also the "Contour Body" decal was only on J basses, never on Precisions.

Chromes are much lighter blue that that, and the long gauge Chromes wouldn't wrap that far up on the posts. |

They may be Fender 9050's.
Not that I have lots of experience with 9050's but here's why I think they are.
I just purchased an almost new Fender CS Jazz with flats installed at the factory.  They look exactly the color in the photos. They are great strings. I just ordered a few sets of 9050's, so I may know soon. Only thing is, apparently Fender has changed there source for strings and I'm not sure whether I'll get the old versions or the new.
cheers,
BB
