Help identify Flatwound strings

[markibass]

I had some flats on a bass that sounded really good, but the E was dead. I bought some D'Addario Chromes to replace them, but don't really like them as much and I'm having trouble positively identifying them.
Very smooth and shiny
Red/Orange silk at tuner end only
Measured at:
E- .1025
A- .080
D- .0585
G- .0425
Stiffer in a coil than the D'Ads

Mystery Strings

Any help would be appreciated!

Labellas, I think.

Could be La Bellas or even TI's if they have red silks.

My guess would be La Bella 760FL, 43-60-82-104.

One thing you can do to verify that is to measure the winding length (ball end to silk) on each of them. If they're in fact La Bella, they should measure 36.75"-37" for E and 38" for the other three.

I THINK we have a winner! The E is 36-5/8. A and D are 38-1/2. G is 38-1/4. And the gauges are good!
Thanks for your help!!!

TI Flats would have red silk at both ends.

TI Flats would have red silk at both ends.

Yes you are correct, and I have them on 3 basses, my bad!
