Flats with all blue wrapping, anyone know what make they are ?

[lojo]

Ive a set of Flats which I cant identify the make off, all stings have a blue wrapping on the ends

Anyone know ?

Thanks

What kind of blue? Both Ernie Ball flats and D'Adarrio Chromes have blue silks (royal blue, not light blue or navy), and the Chromes have multi-coloured balls.

Thanks , the balls are coloured (green, black, gold, red) and the blue wrap is neither light or dark.

They sound like D'Addario Chromes.

They sound like D'Addario Chromes.

He must be playing them through a pretty loud amp if you can hear that

Ha ha, unfortunate (or not) wording.

Ok thanks everyone, I'm going to put them on a P bass and try them out tonight, was considering buying some La Bella flats, but these found in my bits box might hit the spot.

La Bellas have quite a high tension compared to D'Addario - I have D'Addario flats on my Precision and they sound and feel great.

Surely it doesn't matter what colour our balls are? Can't we just live together in peace and harmony??

I don't want to live with anyone who has green balls!

That concept confuses and infuriates me!

Won't someone think of the children? Those delucious, crunchy children...

D'Addario Chromes, definitely. Oh, and - best thread derailment of the week

From the description I`d say Chromes, and from my experience they are rather nice on a P-Bass.

Forgot to (re-)post these - D'Addario Chromes on a 5:

Depends on the gauge. La Bella now make a lighter gauge to go with their traditional gauges.

D'addario chromes are the nicest flat wounds I've used by far. I've tried the LaBella deep talking flats and Rotosound Monel ones (the Steve Harris signature set) and they were all far too tense for my liking but the D'Addario ones had perfect tension and had a lot of punch to them

[lojo]

Thanks for the replies, I've had them on a while now, and the E and A really do thump though my mark bass, but the D and G sound really dead in the mix.
