Name this string

so i've already tried the quinn string id and i've even asked other people who have this same string, and nobody knows exactly what it is. The only exact answer is that it was put on once and everytime their bass comes from the shop, they have a new set of strings and they liked the sound so they never asked what it was. i just need one answer. or maybe this is a good place to post windings and the makers, for everyone curious about what strings other people are using. This is a b/c extended E string.

I dig the beach shoe, but you could have removed your hanky :-)

What they both said!

Pirastro has a set of pretty useful String PDFs on their website that give you the colours at both ends of the strings. They have separate ones for Synthetics, Steels, etc
