Odd one.

A friend of mine is trading me these for my old Super Nils. I'm not using them and his bass is a '30's Kay so it needs some low tension strings. Just trying to figure out what they are. |

Gaston, is the A string black and the G string yellow?

| | | | I wonder if these aren't permanents? Looks like there's some color alteration in the photo that makes the yellow look orange, the blue look darker, the black in the pegbox look blue and the brown in the pegbox look yellow. |

Thanks again for everyone's input, but I do not actually have these strings, nor have I seen them in person, so I can't intelligently comment as to color shift. I should have them in hand in a week or two. |

Someone traded me these strings once as Obligatos and it took me some time to find out, what they actually were. The tailpiece silks do look like Obligatos, but bright orange instead of dark red. Otherwise they have nothing in common with them [Obligatos]. http://www.contrabass.co.uk/corelli_...te_tension.htm
