Hey all this is my first post I found this great forum post about bass silk colors ( tiny.cc/silkbass ) and so I was wondering if anyone can help me find out what black strings with red silk are on my bass when I bought it. Also feel free to suggest/comment on your favorite light 5 string bass sets.
I figured that they were DR Black Beauties but the DR strings dont have the colored fabric. I dont know what that fabric is officially call but I have heard it refered to as the yarn or the silk of the strings.
My Ibanez bass's strings are flatwound over a round core but they seem light to play or perhaps hollowcore or slotted core if that exists. Here are the pictures, I wonder if they are made by Ibanez possibly? I wrote ernie ball and they emailed me back saying to contact Ibanez directly I really was hoping someone on here saw these black coated strings with the red colored silk.
