I have a general question about a set of strings that I really like. They came with the bass at the time of purchase and are very reponsive to the bow. I would really like to know who manufactures them. All I can tell you is that they have two-tone cloth leaders (topaz and black) for the A, D and G strings and the E string is a solid red. Do these sound familiar to anyone?

Amber?
Blue?

I never thought of looking at that end. |

Is it a solid topaz ring at the top of black silk, or a twist ?

I would agree with clink that the rest are Corelli's. Tungsten. |

However, I don't think the tone color-ID fit at the peg-end with the colors provided by the OP.

The E is def a spiro weich.

The OP should post pics showing both ends.
