Pinball Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, I have a rather nice set of flats on a quitter I bought. They have red windings at both ends and are nice and shiney. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apa Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Roto Jazz 77 Flats have a bright red silk at the tail end but dont think they have them at the ball. I cant see, its a through body! A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 TI (Thomastik) jazz flats have red silk windings at both ends. So these are likely to be what are on your bass. Nice they are too !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, call me geeky, but I believe that the Rotosounds taper under the silk and the ball end, whereas the TIs don't and are hence thicker at the ball.

EssentialTension Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 La Bella 760FL are also red silks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 aah not the simple answer I was hoping for. They are very nice whatever they are. They are bright red. They have a shiny brass ring at the bridge end but I'm guessing most strings do. If I had bought it in the UK I would have guessed roto's but it came from Spain. I'll have to do a bit more research and look all these up. Whatever they are they are very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
