ezbass Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Sounds like D'Addarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 May be Fender 7250s. Those or D'Ad XLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 They have slightly different coloured ball ends. I think the 7250s have more of a turquoise green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1496704550' post='3313376'] Thanks - Any way of telling ? [/quote] Quick search of google for some images: Fender: D'Addario: Sorry, quick search so I didn't grab larger images. {edit} These are obviously guitar strings, but the colours used are the same if not necessarily exactly for each string.

If Fender use the same colours throughout their range then they must be D'addarios as they're not the same as a Fender set I have on another bass. Thanks for the help folks.

ahpook Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 A set of EXL170s arrived today, straight onto the MM and soooo much better than the Status strings. I've stuck with Status strings for ages as I hoped they'd get their problems sorted out, but this may be the parting of the ways. Shame, especially as I'd just bought a job lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
