Silk colors

You mean you don't have them with you so you can examine them more closely?
By the way, how old would they be?
Probably rounds? I got the pic off a retailer, all they said is that it's "nickel"
Assuming they're "nickel rounds", I can't think of one with blue silk at both ends and silver ball ends.
One possibility is an older version of GHS Brite Flats, which are Alloy 52 (nickel-iron) half-rounds. The only thing is for them to have silk at both ends, they would have to be several years old as the newest version doesn't have silk at the ball end anymore.
That is correct. However I've recently been updated by the retailer that they're actually sold out and they can't provide any more pics, so I guess it will remain a mystery.
It's probably a good thing you didn't get them. I would never buy strings bundled up like that in the pic from a retailer who can't even tell you exactly what make and model of strings they are.
You Bet!
I have a set on a Squier Jazz and aside from when I take it to my guy for a leveling they will remain on it until (if) a string breaks.
I've poked around some but have not been able to find anything on a set on my Vintera P bass I picked up used.
They are flats with red silk on the tuner end, black silk at the bridge and the balls are red, blue, white. and red.

Probably should have posted here, but started a thread...
Any idea what these flatwound strings are? Labella? They were in my stash and I'm not sure where they came from.

I just responded to your other thread already. Yes, they are the La Bella DTF 760FS (45-65-85-105).
