Hi
Hoping someone can help me ID the strings on my new junior jet ii bass, I initially thought they might be Daddario but the ball ends don't match there colours, whatever strings they are they are short scale and according to the Gretsch website are 95-40 but they don't state what brand they are, hoping someone can help, thanks

Is the ball end for D silver/chrome? If so, it's the Fender brand. Fender 5250XL = Short-scale Nickel-Plated Steel roundwound 40-60-75-95.

Gold - Red - Silver - Green (E-G) = Fender brand. (made by D'Addario)
Gold - Red - Black - Green (E-G) = D'Addario brand.

Thank you, I had an inkling that they are Fender strings, good to have confirmation on this
