SolomonHelsing Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Did a search, couldn't find similar in any similar topics. So thought it'd be okay to post this. Well I've been playing about on my Jay Turser, and I must say the strings on it feel really nice. Now whether that's due to age as these look like old strings, hence I believe they were put on by the old owner not the shop. So I'm guessing they couldn't help. They possibly may be half rounds as these feel somewhat smoother than the roundwounds on all my other basses (Rotosound swing, Nexus, and Some Fender own Brand) Blue string windings at the headstock. And red at the ball end, and the ball ends appear silver in colour not gold etc. Some pictures. Just incase someone can point me to what these could be. And then I can find out personally if it's the strings themselves or the age. (Plus I can get the fretboard cleaned up, This girl has seen some action it seems) Edited March 13, 2015 by SolomonHelsing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringPing.com Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Having a quick look around, the best I could find were Burner strings, which are red at the headstock and blue at the bridge! Here's a good thread about it on TalkBass - http://www.talkbass.com/threads/silk-colors.717720/page-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolomonHelsing Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ah thanks, i'd read through that but obviously missed that. Well They're maybe worth a shot incase they've swapped round since then haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know of any Fender strings that use 2 different colours. They certainly don't seem like half-rounds, though. Definitely rounds, and probably steel. That (slightly) narrows the area that you need to search to find out what they are. I hope you find some good info soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
