DR makes pink wound strings.

I think theyve also got peacock blue, green and red (aswell as the black beauties ofcourse).

I have an old no name set floating around. They're nickel rounds with a faded looking pink wrap on each end.

I bought 5 sets for $30 if that says anything about the quality of these strings

yes the pink silk on the ends, not pick coating on the whole string. Are they spector strings or d'addario? or what?

Speaking of silk end colors, I saw a picture of Chris Chaney with one of his Precision basses in Bass Player magazine (can't remember how long ago) and each string had a different silk end around the tuner. Thought that looked pretty cool, and have officially been wondering what strings they were ever since.
