Flats ID

[booch29]

I bought a p bass with Flats on it and can't recognise them. I really like the feeling and tone of these.
Description - blue silk wraps on both ends, ball ends all gold.

I'm suspecting they are ernie ball, but i'm not sure...
I attached pictures for reference.

Thanks!

Yes, they do look like an older version of Ernie Ball Stainless Steel Flats (aka "Group Flats"), which used to come with the dark blue silk you see in the pics. The latest ones come with light blue silk, and they've recently introduced a new packaging design, but still the same strings otherwise.

Thank @michael_t
I'm really digging them!!
These are not the cobalt flats right?

No, not the Cobalt, but stainless steel.

Sexy Pbass! Has a Paul Simonon vibe to it. What year is it?

gorgeous bass, I love patina of an aged maple neck.

Thank you! @Phaidrus
Yes it's sexy as hell! I jumped on it immediately and it's plays great and sounds great! The neck is a 93-94 japanese 50's (with a surprising 42 mm width at the nut)...the body is also Japanese but i don't what year... So it's a Frankenstein
