Pink silk ends - ideas on string brand?

[glenbass1]

I've recently purchased a stingray bass from a fellow BC'er. I would like to replace like-for-like strings on there and hoping someone might have an inkling as to what they are, as unusually they have pink silk ends.

 

The BC'er purchased it from Bass Bros and I have asked them, but they think they were already fitted and hadn't restrung it.  

 

Pics below. Appreciate it's a long shot but if anyone knows of a string brand that uses pink silk can you let me know.

 

Cheers! 😄

Snake Oil Strings?

If you could find the worsest strings with pink end, would you use them ???

Did you mean 'string of wurst sausages'..?

Don't think I've ever seen pink silks before.

It would appear so. The only strings I can find with powder pink silks rather than hot pink or cerise. 

A quick Google tells me you need to contact Dean Farley at Snake Oil Strings. It's a small American company but they do ship to UK. 

Is the company is still going? Who knows?

Relic-ed Rotosounds?

Rotosound piano design or snake oil strings maybe

A set of Pink Flamingos. Pretty scarce.

I don’t know much about rounds but they look pretty cool to me 

[alyctes]

I really like those. I hope they make flats

They're perfect for a Shell Pink bass. 

Obviously it's not all about looks... but it is all about looks. 😁
