What kind of string is it?

[kZapner]

These came on a second hand Fender Roscoe Beck V I bought. I just replaced them with some D'Addario XL's, but they aren't cutting it with the string-through of course. Whatever these strings are, they worked perfect for me. Guesses anyone? Thanks.

Edit: this is the B

They could be GHS's, but I could be wrong (very wrong).

[kZapner]

Well I guess they're not DR's haha, you would know being an employee. I'll check out some GHS and see if I can find it. But if anyone else still wants to throw a guess out there, be my guest.

Those look like Fender 8255's?

[PrecisionBass]

If they're the original strings that shipped with the bass, then yes, chances are they're Fenders. In fact, if so, you can guarantee that they're Fenders.

[kZapner]

It's highly possible they're original. The bass is a 2000, but it didn't look like it had ever been played when I got it. They didn't sound dead though, which is why I thought it had been restrung. I'll check those out. Thanks dudes.

Judging by the tapered string, and grey colored silk wrappings, I would venture to guess that you are right.

8250's have the grey color wrap
7250's have black
7150's have gold
7350's have red

Yep 8250's. That's what I have on mine.
I get them here.
