Silk colors

[don21480]

I read thru the thread and it seems a database might have been in the works - did it ever materialize with photos?

I haven't see one yet. I know Jason over at Bass Strings Online has a lot of info.

I'm moving some stuff around on my web server, so just in case something is missing I'm going to re-post a bunch of the string silk pictures I've posted.


Here are Rotosound Nexus strings:

I like my strings with silk on both ends but with the current trend of string manufacturers doing away with silks, packaging and coloring the ball ends on their strings this thread my soon become irrelevant. Maybe someone should start a data base of colored ball ends.

...but how do they know which tuner they go to? (w/o colored tuners).

Hey

This page has helped a good bit - but

The strings I got on a bass from a guy who claims there are Labella deep talking flats and I do not think they are.

There is no silk on the ball ends.

Here is a pic can anyone help me more, I love these strings.

Thanks

They are Labella 760FX flatwound strings 39-96 gauge. Nice strings! Labella have no silk on ball end.

Well what got me is that I bought a set of labella 760fs and they are noting like these and they have blue silk on them???

I will look into the 760fx next.

Thanks

Labella has different colours for every set of flats. the FX and FL are light red (slight orange), the FS is blue, the FM is black and the 0760M Jamerson is light blue.

everyone without silk at the bridge
