Guest MoJo Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I recently bought a bass and these (pic below) are the strings that were on it. They have a nice tone/feel, so I'd like to get some more for my other basses. I contacted the seller who informed me that they were Rotosound but Rotosound have said that they don't manufacture bass strings with black silk wraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Picato use black silks I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Original Fender 7250s? GHS Pressurewounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Didn't Warwick make strings with black silks??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 On the close up pics they look like Elites Groundwounds to me. Do they feel like full on rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 LaBella Steels have black silk wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strings Direct agree with you BigRedX, they think they're LaBella SuperSteps Stainless Steel Roundwounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I don't think that they are SuperSteps, because the ball end of the string isn't taper-wound. They look to me like ordinary LaBella Steels (used to be called Hard Rocking Steels) but for some reason these are much harder to get in the UK, which is why I think Strings Direct are trying to sell you SuperSteps. Personally I've given up with LaBella Steels, because although they are very nice strings, they no longer make one of the gauges I like (45-135) as a set, and because they are difficult to find and expensive when you can get them. I've switched to Warwick Black Label which are very nearly as good and about half the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Look like roundwounds to me. I'm pretty sure they're the original Fender 7250s which came in a sky blue packaging but they stopped being produced around 2009. Roto nickel rounds are very similar IME.
