BigBeatNut Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Put these on my Eclipse in about 2004 - 2006 ... they've been on various basses since and have matured into being my favourite set of strings, to the point where no bass sounds right until it's strung with this set. I need another set and can't figure out the brand of these. I suspect they may be status flats. Can anyone tell me for sure ? I think I've ruled out LaBellas and Rotosounds, but I could be wrong because that's based on seeing and hearing current strings from these manufacturers ... for all I know they've changed over the years. Thanks ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 They look like TI (Thomastik/Infeld) jazz flats to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] TIs have red silk at the ball end and don't have a tapered B. That's probably the biggest clue - which flats.have a tapered B? Re Status strings, my halfwounds had black silk at both ends but not sure about their flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
