Anyone happen to know what these strings are? Thanks in advance.

Ti Jazz Flats have red wraps on both ends. If they feel reasonably low tension then that should be it (TI Flats are on the flexible end of flats in my experience).

Also - the silk "pattern" on the headsock matches TIs

Yeah I think you guys nailed it. Strings look good no real wear. G string is a little dead when playing notes. I’ll check my pickup height. Bartolini says no such thing as too close but who knows. Thanks!!

TI Jazz Flats do not wear out like other strings. They last longer than any other string I have ever tried and others say the same. I have them on 4 basses and the newest set is over 5 years old. I have two new sets in a drawer, so when they need replaced I will. Have not needed to yet.

that's just because they are flats. comparing to the "brand new tone", TI don't last much, but the sound they get when worn out is (to many players) a wonderful sound.

IMHO other flats keep the sound better, and don't change much during the first period. I hate brand new TIs, with the E and A that sound like rounds
