ianwild16 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Does anyone know which make of string uses the different coloured loops on the retaining loop? They are on my new CV jazz...they still sound quite good even after a gig and plenty of home noodling. Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Daddarrios are colour coded ball ends, and common. Probably them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 [quote name='molan' post='668134' date='Nov 28 2009, 11:33 AM']Standard D'Addario 4 string set colours are: Green 45 Black 65 Red 85 Brass 105[/quote] and a light violet for a B string. Does the colour actually change according to the gauge or with the nominal note? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
