Gut String ID Needed Please

[Jake deVilliers]

Hey there gut experts, I was trying to organise my string cupboard and take stock when I came across three sets of guts that came on different basses I bought.

I would love it if you could identify them for me...

There are much bigger pix on the 'Bass Strings' page of my website.

Thanks, Jake

The third set. I should say that Set Number One only has three strings.

There is no telling what the plain ones are,,the reds are of corse redorays,red labellas or red artones,,,Blue and orange,or blue and red silk were Sweetones,orange,or orange and black were Newtones, you have a couple there I cant see all that well,,I'll look latter tonight when the sun isnt on my screen,,Kent

You have one wound string that looks like it might have red silk,,I have some old strings that have red,with green underneath,,they are goldtones,,I'll have too look see who made those,,Old Labellas had green and black,latter labellas had only green for a while, then they went to Red on the E and Yellow on the A,One of the best wound A&E guts I have ever has were Golden Spirals,they have purple and yellow/gold
they were round wound just like the others but the winding looks almost like stainless or something,,I think these I have are from back in the 80s,,they latter went to a ground round winding that was like playing barbedwire,,they would eat your fingers up,,kent
