Looks like some kind of multi-colored weed-wackers or the like.
I'd get a whole set of new strings if it was me.

They aren't weed whackers I actually just received word via email from the company. And I figured I'd get another set because I still have two string that are fine and this is my first bass so I would like spares if possible. Also I'm kinda poor

Ok, and what did they say it was?

they couldn't tell me. The bass is from Europe so I'm thinking maybe that's where the strings originated. I've contacted the actual company kk baby bass and I'm waiting to hear back.

Ok.
On baby-bass.com website, they don't offer these strings in their accessories area.
I think someone else put them on.
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] sell weed-whackers in multiple colors, so that was my thought first.

Trying to stay within a string ID thread instead of starting yet another...

I'm pretty much a newbie at string IDs, does anyone recognize these strings? (Sorry if this is mundane.) I played pizz/slap on this old bass this afternoon, didn't really like the feel of the strings but they and the bass really sounded good.

That is the D’Addario Helicore Pizzicato set.

The multicolored strings in the original post were designed for the Tololoche, a Mexican folk instrument similar to a half-size double bass. I think they are made or distributed by Selmer.
