String identification on secondhand Ibanez

[BassplayerMF]

Hey guys,

I am a new (at least new to the active part of it) member of this beautiful forum,
so to get things started I wanted you to ask your opinion on the identification on a set of strings.
Bought a used Ibanez Soundgear SR370E from a guy, the condition of the instrument itself seems to be quite ok but he told me he never changed the strings in the 4 years he owned the bass so thats what I´m doing right now whilst giving it a clean.

I haven´t been playing electric that much the last years and all the ones I have I used with flats or tape wounds so I need your help with the identification of those strings:

I added a picture of the bass if anybody is curious, sorry for the rather bad foto quality, just took them super quickly with my phone. And also for my english, no native speaker so don´t judge too harshly.

Looking forward to be part of this wonderful chaotic forum,
Mischa

Those are D'Addario ball end colors. Most likely XL Nickels.

A picture paints a thousand words... You've done great in showing those ball end colors. Nothing bad about the photo quality.

thank you for that quick response. I kind of liked the sound of those old rounds but the E string was really dying so I changed them to a set of relatively new rounds I had lying around. Now it´s a whole new world of zingy and bright but I´ll give them a try and see if I can get used to that sound
