String ID Help (Multiscale 5)

[primussucks9126]

Hey everyone!

I was hoping to get help on figuring out what strings came on this used bass I recently got.

Brass ball ends. No silks. Works on an Ibanez multiscale (35.5"-34"). Tapered B and E (maybe A? I can't tell). They look to be steel, but I could be wrong. Gauges seem light-ish (measured with digital calipers).
.125 .95 .75 .55 .45

The previous owner thought they were DRs, but the only tapered string they have are long necks and dragon skins. I thought they could be dragon skins but the gauges don't seem right, and they have a tapered A as well.

They're not Daddario since they dont have colored ball ends.

Ernie ball winding lengths aren't long enough from the sets of tried.

The only other thing I can think of is SIT.
Their med-light 5 string multiscale power wound set seems to match up, but they have a tapered A string and I don't think mine do.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks!

They could be Dingwall strings. I don't know much about multi scale but I see a lot of Dingwall strings for sale.

Not likely, given the reported gauges. Maybe Payson, Spector, or Pyramid?

I do think it could be these. I rounded the gauges I posted, so my calipers were actually showing closer to these in-between gauges. The thing that's throwing me off is the tapered A.

Every set I'm seeing that I think could be a match lists a tapered A.

Not likely, given the reported gauges. Maybe Payson, Spector, or Pyramid?

I'll look into these!

FWIW, the D'Addario NYXL multiscale strings are where it's at, so much better than the Dingwall strings, at least for me on my BTB806MS
