Chromes or Flats?

[Badass]

I've a P-Bass that I put either Chromes or Flats on about two years ago. I am not sure which I put on the bass. I'd like to try the 'other' ones...Can anyone link me to a couple of images please of these two types? So that I may get an idea of which I have on the bass at present.

Adding an image in case that helps anyone identify what I already have on the bass.

Might as well took a picture of your hand! Chromes have royal blue silks so if the strings on the bass don't have the silks then they're not Chromes.

They have royal blue silks, so Chromes they are.

Even at my age you can still learn something everyday, brilliant. Thank you.

Chromes are flats though.

[Badass]

Are they? When I look at string makers sites they offer both Chromes and Flats? So I am now even more confused...Don't take much these days LOL

"Chromes" is the brand name for D'Addario's range of flatwound strings: http://www.daddario.com/DADProductFamily.Page?ActiveID=3768&familyid=18&sid=bb654faa-90e8-4174-87c0-e84ba40ab08b

Try a set of GHS Precision Flats. I rate these strings on a P bass.

Probably where my confusion is coming from. I use D'Addario NYXL on most of my basses, and D'Addario 'Chrome /Flats' on my P-Bass. Think I'll play them in a bit longer. Maybe giving your suggestion a try at some point chris_b

Thanks for the help guys. Still learning after 50 years of playing.
