A few months ago I bought a 79 fender precision bass. I feel it’s time to change the string that a certificated fender services install before a bough it. Does anyone know the brand and the model of the strings shown in the picture?
The main characteristic is thy have a cyan color at the end and at the top and bottom of each string. |

Those are probably Fender strings.

| | | | Roto is always red I believe, although I may be wrong.
Check out Dean Markley's. A set just like the ones you show came on my 84 Precision, so they may be Fenders.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Indianapolis | | Yeah, you definitely do not need to worry about a Fender Certificated set of strings. Just pick what you like. In general terms, I would go with Ernie Ball Super Slinky or D'Addario. Although I myself am not a fan of D'Addario. I just don't see the effect for the cost, you know?

You can get TWO sets of XLs for $22.80. That's $11.40 a set. That's cheap! EBs are about $14, so for $3 more you get an extra set.
