Help identify these strings?

[props]

Just wondering if anyone recognized these flats. I know they're not GHS Precisions since I use them on my fretless, but that's about all I know.

 

[Jaco who?]

Probably D'addario chromes.

I'm pretty sure those are D'addario chromes.

My La Bella flats have the same colour silk.

When I bought the bass the guy that sold it to me said he thought they might be La Bellas but he really wasn't sure. Hmmm... these look familiar to anyone else?

edit: no color on the ball ends. La Bellas?

The fact is: LaBella, Ernie Ball, Diaddario & GHS all make flats with blue wrapping & it's very difficult to tell them part visually. I know because I'm sitting here looking at all 4 brands on different basses I own. Sadowskys have no wrapping so that leaves them out. My fave strings Dogal Jacos have a lighter color blue wrapping. They are rarely seen anyway in the U.S. Tonewise, I find the LaBella strings a little darker than the other 3 brands mentioned. The EBs,Chromes & GHS' are very similar. The Sadowsky flats are quite bright by comparison. The Dogal Jaco flats are in a league of their own.

Thanks for the info. I guess I can rule out D'Addario (no color on the ball ends), GHS (I've played those since 2001 and recognize them) and Sadowsky (silk ends). That leaves EB and LaBella - I'm pretty certain that they're LaBellas since that was the brand mentioned by the former owner of the bass - even though he didn't really remember too well. By the way, that strikes me as a little odd since they seemed to be a fresh set.

Thanks to everyone for the help!
