String ID Please

[zipnla]

I have a set of strings on one of my "4's" that I really like but I've thrown the packaging away and don't recall the brand. They have red binding at the tuner ends and no binding at the ball ends. Can anyone tell me what brand they might be?
Thanks in advance...

Please post a couple of pics - one at the head stock and one at the bridge, including the ball ends if possible. Thanks.

Are they roundwound? If so, my first guess would be the GHS Boomers, but the only way to verify that is to see them in a pic.

Yes round wounds. The strings are strung through the body, but I don't see any wrapping , from what I can see.

Yes, they do look very much like the Boomers. Do you recall them as one of the ones you've purchased?

EDIT: Are the ball ends brass-colored?

Here are the Boomers I once had on one of my Yamahas...

I do recall buying a set of Boomers last year. Yes,Brass ball at end of strings. I think you're right. Thank you very much.

Its really a great bass... fast neck... I replaced the preamp with an AUDERE 3 band. Also has split switch for the rear Pup...HB parallel , HB Series , and single coil. It's very HiFi, but I still love my Fenders.
