Help identifying strings

Hey guys, just recently picked up this beauty and it sounds mint. Beautiful, nice and clear tones. Sounds great slapping. I play unplugged sometimes and I can still hear the depth of the sound and I am assuming it has to be the strings. Problem is I can’t identify what strings are on it. My best guess is the standard Brass balls Fender 60, 80,105 that come with the bass and a greenish 45 daddario single string? Any help will do because I am liking this sound but am perplexed to what the strings are.

I think you have the right idea... Original Fender 7250 E, A, D and the G from a D'Addario set. Those Fenders should be 65-85-105, though, if they're in fact the original factory strings.

EDIT: The G with the green ball end could also be from a Fender 7250 set. Fender-branded sets in retail packages do come with colored ball ends similar to D'Addario.

Fender: gold-red-silver-green (E-G)
D'Addario: gold-red-black-green (E-G)
