Have Fender changed their strings yet again?

Just put a new set of my fave rave string the Fender Superbass 7250'Ms on my VMJ and :blink: ....its like having microphonic strings...

...the string noise is incredible, they are so bright they could make the hairs stand up...like fingernails down a blackboard and as tight as a camels a**e in sand storm.

I've still got another 4 bass's here and all shod with unworn 7250's so it's not me, honestly!

...same packet as normal...any ideas?

[i]D'addario, [/i]allegedly, even though Fender invested a lot of $ in a new string equipment not long ago. Made to a their recipe by [i]D'addario, [/i]not relabled.

They changed the 7250 and other strings a while back, those older ones were[b][i] really[/i][/b] sweet, as opposed to just sweet. Older strings generally had silks, so its easy to spot the older strings.
