Yet another Flats ID question

Jan 15, 2013

And yes I have dug around for 3 days both here and the WWW.

I have a bass string identifier question.

I'm looking to ID a set of flats on a used acquisition.

Fender Fretless Jazz Am Pro 2

Silks are dark blue
String ball colors:
E-red
A-white
D- blue
G-brass
With the low E at 2.4 mm which is 95 or 96ish.

I thought they were chromes but the string ball colors don't match on any images I've been able to study.

Is there any kind of a matrix or chart that has all these identifiers listed?

I've been to several links from TB posts that used to exist but they are no longer available.

If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks//geo
 
I just answered your question in the other thread...

Those ball end colors are the new La Bella color scheme that they started doing a few years ago.

Dark blue silk could mean either the 1954 Originals (0760M, 52-110) or the DTF 760M (49-109).

What doesn't make sense is the E being only .095. ??? DTF 760FX (39-96) would have avocado green silk.
