I have a question.
Installed some flats on one of my basses today and they sound absolutely great.
Problem is I don't know which brand they are.
They came on a bass I bought second hand long time ago and first thing I did was remove them.
I'm older and wiser now and I would like to experiment with flats.

So... does anybody know which brand uses an orange/red winding at the headstock part of the string?
At the ball-end there's no colour at all.

I hope somebody can help.

Hey The Greek,

Thank you so much, I think I got them.
Went over to the first link you send and I think they are LaBella [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]760FX (Extra Light .039 .056 .077 .096) = [/size][/font][/color][b][color=red]Almost Red Orange[/color][/b][color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] Silk [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Colour kinda looks the same I think (picture from the internet and no daylight here anymore to really compare) but the string gauges also are the same so I think it must be them.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Never expected this to sort itself out so quickly.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Once again thank you very much.[/size][/font][/color]
