Help identifying strings

[sirmuppet]

Not got much to go on but I heard a bass and want to try the strings that were on it on mine. They had red thread at the bottom and what looked like blue thread at the headstock end. An idea what brand these are? Sorry for the vagueness. 🤣

Stadium Elite Groundwound?

Elites groundwound and flats both have this colour scheme

Thought I'd replied to this but I don't see my reply. Took a while to find a pic but it looks like them. Thanks.

Do you guys mean roundwound and it's a typo or is there actually a range called groundwound and I'm missing something? lol.

If they are those ones then they're stainless steel aren't they? If so it explains why I like the sound so much.

Groundwound are sometimes also known as halfround. They are roundwounds with the top surface ground down and have the appearance of flats but a sound somewhere between flats and rounds.

Awesome. I knew about half rounds but didn't know the groundwound term. 😊

Have ordered a set so looking forward to A-B them against a set of Rotosounds that are on their way. 

Cheers again for the help and to Pow_22

Did the strings you heard sound like flats or rounds?  Elites Groundwound definitely air on the side of flats. Havent tried their rounds but the may well also follow the same silk colour scheme?

100% sound like rounds. Bright and punchy as hell. I ended up going for the Stadium Elite Roundwounds as I'm thinking it might be them. Certainly from looking at a pick the colour scheme is the same. Got a decent deal on them too.
