I put these on the bass a few years ago and I want to pickup another set for a different bass but for the life of me I can't remember what they were. Can you guys ID these for me?

Thank You!!

Chromes?
I'd move that bridge back a little- give the saddles room to adjust, getting the locking wraps and silks off of the saddles.
Chromes huh? Sweet, thank you!!

I thought about unwinding the silk a bit when I first put them on, but I'll tell you I track with this bass all the time and it sounds outstanding. There's no adverse effects from the windings riding on the saddles and I'm not sure I want to drill a new set of holes in this old P-bass.

If it sounds good, IMO don't fix it.

If it intonates, holds it and plays well- Play it as is...
