What strings did early Fender basses come with?

I know nothing about piano strings.
I'm just sharing this link which shows someone installing a wound piano string, handling the core of that string with bare hands, with ordinary hand tools, @10:15. The treble strings are already installed. This is on the bass side of the piano.
