What Flats are these

[BigBear77]

Just bought a used Sire D5 off of GC. It came with the below flats. Not super high tension and not super low. I’d say a medium tension flat. just curious if anyone could identify them.
thank you.

With the red silks and the offset of the silks between the E string and the rest of the strings, and my experience with various flats as to tension and feel, I would say they are La Bella 760FL's: 43, 60, 82, 104. Yes, even though La Bella calls them "light," (which they are compared to their Jamerson set), I would call them a medium tension, medium flexibility string. One of the best sets made. They should last for years. Rock on!

Slightly off topic but if the 760FL are "medium" tension-wise and flexibility-wise, what would you call the 760FS and the 760FM sets?

"Medium-high".

Bridge cables.

Bridge cables.

Interesting. I find the 760FS just normal for flats, haven't tried the 760FM.

Currently Pyramid Gold 50-70-85-105 on my flats bass and they feel stiffer than the 760FS and also higher tension, at least the D and G.

Have ordered a 9050M set. Perhaps I'm pushing my luck.

I've had my 760FL set on a P since Feb 2001, they still sound great.

Bassically, Michael

Nice strings. Good even tone.

awesome bass!...I just got the exact same bass, 2 weeks ago, I love it so far...I switched over to GHS Precision flatwounds as I had a spare set, so far very good...I see yours has a different bridge than stock, cool

I tend to agree with @iiipopes although it’s not an easy guess ..
If they truly are LaBella DTF 760FL they are by far what I consider to be the best flatwound strings around .. best for tone (absolutely), evenness between strings and overall feel when played; stiffer than TIs but it’s something that one can easily get used to
