Help needed identifying strings

[lownote]

Need to replace flats with all brass balls and black silks top and bottom. The bottom silks are short so they don’t ride up over the saddles. Anyone know what they are?

Dunlop’s possibly

I've now found Old Horse Murphy's similar thread.  Sorry for duplicate.  Unless there's any other strings with black silks both ends it seems I has my answer.

I’ve got status flats and they got black silks too

Just looked and yes, brass balls too

They aren’t as popular as dunlops , and I did hear they wasn’t in stock for a long while, so more than likely Dunlop

@Reggaebasstell me if you would, how long are the ball end silks.  Are they like 1 1/2 inch long and have to be cut back else they foul the saddles?. Or are they nearer 3/4 inch and don't have that problem? My mystery strings have the latter.

I think the black silks on the Dunlops are short and quite shiny at the ball end

They are quite worn as they are old so might not be very helpful, but hopefully you can still see the silk  on the D string , they are on my Kay/cort

Now bought Dunlops and they're not the same.  Pretty sure my old ones were Picato.
