My music teacher brought in her dads 'spare' bass. there is a bit of a story to it (of which i did not have time to listen to) but it was a fairly new fender jazz bass, (although there was no actual fender sticker, and im sure this isnt brand new out of the factory, but it hadnt been played much) I asked what sort of strings they were, they looked like flat wounds to me, but i was told they were the strings that were on it originally. they sounded great, especially on such a great instrument (it restored my faith in the jazz bass). could anyone help me identify them? they had a red teathery bit on the end that goes into the tuning peg.

Preffered strings?

yea, i know, sorry, i dont have any information, i know that it wasnt an expensive one, i reakon it was no more than 1-2 years old, but it had the silver pickup guards. i think it might have been a re-issue? the strings certainly were new, i think the man never played it. there was nothing on the bass that illuded to age or anything of that nature, it didnt even have the fender sticker on it.
They were possibly something nickle plated, flatwound. they had a really good sound off them. ill see if i can find the model.
They very well could have been Fender Flatwound bass strings. But depends on which instrument specifically and date to determine which ones...

very similar to this, only the teather is red. can i ask, what is the black thing beside the strings for?
