I know that's almost impossible but I think we can get close. Hear me out.
I've had the same strings on this bass for about 3 years now.
I felt like I wanted some more brightness so I went and picked up a set of high beams and some how my 3 year old stings are much brighter than the brand new the hi beams.
I find this particularly odd as my old strings are nickle coated.
So I plugged the bass into an analyzer. The high beams have a big scoup around 500hz on the open E and a peak around 1000hz.
My old strings have a much more even response with a bit more extended top. (Above 1khz)
So id like to find a direct replacement for my old strings. I just need to figure out what they are.
The strings are
Nickle coated
Very even frequency response
Nice and bright at the very top end.
I'm 90% sure my Olds are either Dr pure blues or elixirs.
I remember being fond of the pure blues
(I went though a phase a few years ago where I bought every set of strings I could find for comparing . About 30 sets in total.)
There is a slight chance my olds are D'addario, but I dont think so.
Based on ehat I've said above, which strings are closet to what I've described, the blues or elixirs?
(Ps. I don't hate the hi beams, they sound cool on some material, but feel very awkward after playing nickles for so long (they feel sticky on my fingers ) and have a very clanky annoying slap sound i cant eq out).
