Help identifying strings

[Hawk600]

Hello,
These flats came with a used bass and I am trying too figure out the brand.
Thanks in advance!

Would you be able to do something? Measure the length of all four of those strings from the ball end to the start of the silk. What I'm trying to find out is whether all four of them are the same winding length, or whether the E is shorter than the other three. Thanks.

EDIT: It's also possible all four are of different lengths, E being the shortest and G being the longest.

Can you also tell me what brand and model of bass these string came on?

Michael,

The E is shorter than the other three.
The other three strings are the same length.
These were seating on a drawer for a few years and I can't recall the bass, I believe it was a Peavey T40, sorry.

The E is shorter than the other three.

The other three strings are the same length.

Can I guess the E is roughly 36.75" and the other three are around 38"? If so, they're La Bella Flats. And the orange silk and brass ball ends indicate they're most likely an older version of 760FX (39-56-77-96) or possibly 760FL (43-60-82-104).

Would you happen to have a digital caliper to measure the gauges of those strings?

 

[Hawk600]

That is correct!
E is almost 37 and the others 38, wow, you are an expert!

Gauges:
E is .010 inch,
A is .008,
D is .006,
G is .004.

E is .010 inch,
A is .008,
D is .006,
G is .004.

I would assume you meant .040, .060, .080, .100 (G-E). That would be closer to the 760FX (39-96), although not exact.

Something to note is the silk color on the 760FX was changed to avocado green within the last few years, and all new La Bella sets now come with color-coded ball ends, red-white-blue-gold (E-G).

Awesome, I will install then on a bass to try it.
Thank you very much for helping!
