Help with string brand

I've been searching the internet trying to find a set of strings that matches the description of mine, but the search has been unfruitful so far. Does anyone know what these strings are:



They were on my bass when I bought it used. They're definitely a lighter gauge than my D'addario Orchestral Mediums. I'd try to describe their sound, but I think we all know how wonderfully useful that would be.

EDIT: the silk windings are the same color at the other end, if that helps.

Did you try the string identifier? It's in the newbie-links sticky at the top of the forum.

Yes, I did, but none of them matched all of the strings. I think they might be a combination of different types and perhaps if it's a common combination someone might recognize it.

Possibly a cheap chinese string.
The only high quality set with different colors at the tailpiece I know is the Pirastro Jazzers, and this isn't the case.

What about the balls, are they all the same shape?

The silks are the same colors at both ends?
