Cheap chinese strings.
Something you'll want to change as soon as possible.
Don't waste your time trying to find what they are.

I agree as well. Most of those instruments come with similar strings(Christopher basses come with them as well). Sometimes you can buy these basses with strings upgraded to D'Addario Helicore Hybrids...

Thanks for the help. After some testing I just have to admit that this strings are no good to bow, but have a decent pizzicato sound.

Considering the cost of a new set of strings, I will not recomend throwing away a new set so easily.

I am not suggesting that the strings are better that a set of Spirocores, but maybe that I am so deaf that I can't hear the difference, so let's take advantage of this and save some money for a beer. :-)
