What strings do I have?

[theos]

I've got a fender jazz 5 string. I'm not sure if these are the original strings, but I like the sound I get from them. They are round wounds and have a baby blue color up top. Any idea what brand they are?

Sounds like rotosounds. Is it like a silk type of taper?

Baby blue silk top.

Yup rotosounds swing nickels

Why can't there just be a jpeg of all the silk colors on strings...

This guy tried but no one helped him.
I think that if someone did create a database to identify electric bass strings it might open the floodgates and we could be that much closer to finding out which bass is indeed the best for metal.

Lol, I'd love to help, as this would be a great resource. Only silk wrapped I've owned are chromes...
