Double Bass Help with string ID

[piubass]

Hello, may anybody help me identifying these strings? They have a peculiar red felt ring at the bottom end and the 1st string's ball has a hole. I found them in the gig of a second hand bass. Thanks in advance!

The red ones are D'Addario hellicore pizzicato strings. The blue one I don't know.

The ones with the red and gold wraps are D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato, which are cheaper Spirocore copies.

The one with the blue wrap looks like a Chinese shipping string.

Cool thank you! I was expecting they were ALL chinese crap (I haven't mounted them yet). So I guess the red rings were added later by the former owner?

My guess is that they replaced the stock strings with a full set of Helicores, one of the Helicores broke, and they replaced it with whatever they had or could buy cheaply.
