Hi yes black silks both ends, nice strings .

I can post this if required in a hard hofner bass case , i wouldnt trust it in a gig bag, Also any insurance would be invalid unless its in a hard case.but i would have to charge for the hard case + postage best price would be £620 hence discount for collection regards jay

Cheers ive ordered some Green Dunlop Tortex triangles 0.88 see how i get on with them they do 1.0 and 1.14 also

What gauge size of plectrums are you using i find the large triangular picks better for more involved or faster bass lines but im having trouble finding any on line, they all seem to be the standard size anyone know of a supplier Regards Jay

Hi Paul replied message

Try Maruszcyk F4 flats 45/65/85/105 they are lower tension than the la bellas but higher tension than the thomastiks they sit somwhere in the middle. but do sound brighter than la bellas or thomastiks available from bass direct £22 a set well worth a punt.

1 x 4 string sets of La bella 0760m flatwound strings 0760m 1954 original vintage 052/073/095/110 used and trimmed for a standard fender precision bass great sound for 50's,60's motown , reggae etc £20 + £2 postage or collect from cambs pe285ap

I have a 57 re issue precision strung with la Bellas 52 /110 hi tension a standard mex precision strung with Thomastik 43/100 low tension both are fine for me , i love the la bellas & thomastiks, but they are expensive. i would say The marusczyk flats are somewhere in between the two for tension. and sound pretty good to me , i havent used them live yet as only had them a couple of days well worth a try at thier price point.

Just to point out these are the LS long scale strings .

Recieved my strings today yes they do have black silks, the silks do clear the nut on my fender 51 p bass with through body stringing il leave the neck to settle and do a set up later , as the la bellas i had were much higher tension so il have to adjust the truss rod etc. il post my opinion in a couple of days when ive had a chance to try them out.

Cheers for that i hadnt seen that thread. looking forward to trying them. regards Jay
