Please help, oh string gurus?

I agree with you on that, broken-in D'Addario Chrome flats.
These strings will respond very nicely to periodic cleanings with a good string cleaner/lubricant, like GHS FastFret or Dunlop's Ultraglide. What you get is a pretty nicely balanced spectrum of tones, from the fundamental through the harmonics with good sustain.

Thanks for the tip. I love 'em and expect they will be my go-to flats for a good long while.
 
I got a couple of pics. Now I am sure that one of you can do a positive ID. Would have posted yesterday but my camera (OK, actually my brain) wasn't working properly. Based on descriptions, I am now guessing nicely broken-in D'Addario Chrome flats.

Thanks again for your help and for allowing me to be a string noob. Bass BTW is a Marco Cortes MV4. Lovely instrument.
