What make of strings are these?

Can anyone confirm the make of these strings? I've been told they're probably D'Addario but I'd like to make sure before I pay for spares.

I can only say that those are not D'Addarios. They don't use that kind of winding at the headstock end. Never seen yellow silk before. They might be Dean Markley, GHS, Ken Smith. I'm sure someone will chime in.

Possibly Dean Markley...are they roundwounds? My Dean Markley SR2000's look like that.

My first guess would be Dean Markley/MTD. Any chance you can share a pic of the bridge?

Those would Fender 7150 original bass pure nickel roundwounds.

if they are taper core then more than likely Dean markley sr2000. If not then probably MTD in not those then IDK

They're not taper core and are roundwounds (which I should have stated).

are you in the U.S.?

Dean Markley I'd guess.

Nice Rick 4001 you have, except for the bridge, it looks to be around a ' 73 Azure-glo?

Any more pictures?

They look just like the Fender 7150s I have on my bass. Bet they awesome on a Ric.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the consensus is Fender.

I'm actually in the UK and it's a '73 4001 which has been restored by Paul Wilczynski.

Possibly Dean Markley 2000 serries strings. I used them for a while and they were pretty good.
