Double Bass What strings are these?

[Tenbrooks]

I recently bought a '47 Kay bass. The strings are metal and each string is wrapped in "red" at the tailpiece. At the tuning machines the strings are wrapped as follows:

E string has a "gold" wrap
A string has a "blue" wrap
D string has a "silver" wrap
G string has a "green" wrap

Does anyone know what strings these are?

I am wanting to have some work done on the bass soon and plan to change the current strings to either Obligatos, Eurosonic Lights, or Innovation Super Silvers.

Any thoughts on selecting one of the above for bluegrass?

thanks..........

These are most likely Supersensitive Red Lables on the instrument currently. For bluegrass, I would go with the Inovations.
