Nick O'Malley strings

[Thibaut]

I'm looking for the strings used by Nick on his sunburst PB with maple neck which remains his main bass.
I've read a lot of stuff that they're flatwounds but that's clearly not true as I have several pictures that show the absence of silk on the headstock side of the strings. And I'm sure there is no flats without silk so I guess they're roundwounds.
Maybe some of you have had a chance to read the Bass Guitar Magazine where there's an interview with him and where he talks about his gear? Anyway, thank you very much for your inputs.

Curt Mangan Flats have no silk at either end. And pre-2010 Fender 9050 Flats came with green silk only at the ball end.

They're not Curt Mangan for his strings balls are gold / red / black / green. Curt Mangan are all gold.
Could be pre-2010 Fender but as a pro bass player, I'm not sure strings even flats, could last almost 15 years.

gold / red / black / green

Those are D'Addario colors.

D'Addario flats have violet silk at the headstock end. So it may be D'Addario rounds.

Quite possibly... D'A Half Rounds don't have silk, either.

as far as I remember, he uses D'Addario nickel on most of his basses, and chromes on the short scales with flats.

nothing special or boutique

Thanks! So it confirms that his PB is roundwounds equiped.
