Guest MoJo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi all I am hoping someone will be able to help me identify these strings (ignore the B string) I took these off my P-bass to replace them with Chrome XL flats and put them on my BB415. I did buy them recently but cannot for the life of me remember what they are. They're not very old and still nice and bright so I want to get a 'B' string to match. They are stainless steel and as you can see they have no bindings and no coloured ferrules. The winding at the tuner end might help. You can see how it differs from the nickel-plated Hartke 'B' string currently on the bass. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well, they're not EBMM strings as said strings have continuous outer core until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 They're not Rotosound either as they have bindings and I tend not to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The last set of Elites I had were visually the same at the end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Oh and that is the nickel, or 'Player' series, not the steels (They have blue at the top and red at the bridge IIRC) ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Think they're Warwicks - red label maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made me think they are 'steels' is that they are a darker colour than the B string next to them and have a brighter harder edge to their tone. I have a set of strings that I've taken from another of my basses that have red bindings at the bridge and blue at the tuner so perhaps they're the Elites. :wacko: Edited September 14, 2008 by bassman2790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walplayer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I was gonna ask the same question cos i've got these same strings on my chris larkin bass and i love em!!But dont know what they are. i thought they might be ernie balls but only basing on the fact that i have never tried them.Have never had Warwicks or a load of other strings though either.

stevebasshead Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've seen that loose/sparse spiral windings on the Warwick EMP's I used until last year. Dunno if that winding-type is specific to their EMP range or just Warwicks in general. The only other Warwicks I've used were Red Label and that was about 7 years ago and my memory ain't [i]that[/i] good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
