Can anybody identify these strings

Plain old Fender 7250. Hard to be more generic.

 

I don't know but these are Fender 7250.

 

The modern Fender rounds don't have any silks on the ends - they ended that maybe around 2010. I think there's some perception that Fender strings aren't as 'good' as the other big makers. It isn't deserved IMO. Fender strings are excellent just as you have found out.

 

"Bendy" with silk lining and "amazing to play"? Sure doesn't sound like the Fender 7250 to me.

 

Fender may not make strings like that today, but there are lots of good strings available nowadays. Anyone that says otherwise is living in a cave.

 

I think GHS Pressurewounds have black silk, but it has been several years since i last used them. The picture to me looks like they could be pressurewounds.

Good Luck!

 

Might try this thread... String Silk Colors?

 

How bout a pic of those 2 basses? I used to have a 61 slab myself !

 

If you can't find the originals, I have used GHS Precision Flats on many Precisions, including single coils. They would be my first choice

 

Fender 7250's today are still a really good string, 40-100 feel really easy to bend an typically what is installed from the factory. I don't know who makes them for Fender but they work well. I liked their old nylon filament strings but they don't make those any more.

 

I was thinking the new Fender strings were made by D’Addario?

I much preferred the older black silk Fenders to the new ones. I’m typically more of a flat wound guy for most applications, but those older black silked Fender rounds played very nicely. Too bad they stopped making them.

 

I thought the same also but since I have both brands I know they are still different, maybe D'Addario make them for Fender but slightly different core/wire wrap gauges? Don't really know but I do like the Fenders, nothing wrong with the D'Addario's either just personal preference.

 

Fender strings are made by D'Addario (since around 2010) but to the Fender specs. That's why D'A XL Nickels and the Fender 7250s are slightly different from each other. The same thing can be said about the D'A Chromes Flats and the Fender 9050 Flats. They do share enough "family resemblance" to be from the same factory but with different tonal characters and feels.

 

I believe in upgrade to the fender strings without leaving the salon for behind would be LaBella’s. Good luck.

 

Fender strings used to be made by them in Mexico. This changed a few years ago as mentioned and they are now made by D’ addario. This pretty much guarantees that you won’t be able to find the exact same thing.
I’m not the only one who preferred the Mexican strings, particularly in regards to the pure nickels. It is what it is. I’ve never tried the TI rounds but they should be very slinky and might suit what you’re after. You also have to figure in the “new string vs old string” tone thing.
