M@23 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Yes, Fender flats definitely have green silks. Made by D’addario, maybe. I really like ‘em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Fenders are definitely green but unless they have changed they are usually a much lighter almost fluorescent type green than those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Yes the Fender flats on one of my basses are a fair bit lighter. Maybe these are just very old and have darkened over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Like others have mentioned, the last set of Fender flats I had had a lighter green silk on them, almost sea foam green.

The other option is Fender 9050s. Looks like someone asked a similar question over on TB a few years back. Yours still look darker than the 9050s though and more in line with the Hofners, but they might have darkened with age. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/what-kind-of-strings-are-these-are-they-fender-9050s.1309451/ Edited May 30 by Jonesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
