Short Scale Bass Strings

[KeithPeb]

Hi, I have an Ibanez Talman short scale bass (originally bought for my young son). It plays really well and the strings in particular are very nice. I need to replace them and kind find any detail on them. Both Ibanez and the UK distributors have been unhelpful,

The strings have a chrome ball end and have black tapered full length windings, They are roundwound strings.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what they might be at all?

I've searched to high heaven, but can't find any reference at all to them.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure that this is any help at all.  However, the Ibanez strings page (bass) is here:

https://www.ibanez.com/eu/products/model/strings/

I can't see anything that resembles the strings on the Talman (at least those models that I've seen in images).  If you could provide an image of the strings/bass, this might help?

If you can't find replacements, I tend to use D'Addario or Fender nickel short-scale rounds (the latter are really quite cheap) - they last reasonably well and the light gauge 40-95 have great compliance.

Thanks for that. Yes, I've already visited the Ibanez site. I use D'Addario on all of my basses, but was keen to replicate the exact string. They don't feel like D'Addarios strings. Thanks for you input.
