Could any experts help me identify this brand of strings?

I've had these strings on my bass for a couple of years now, and I'd like to purchase a fresh set. I've inlcuded some photos.
They're black flat wounds that have a coating on them, and the felts on either end are dark purple/black.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, like michael_t says; La Bella Black Tapewounds. I had them on a Carvin LB-20 for a number of years, but finally replaced them with Roto 77LD5 flats, because - as a BEAD 4 string? The B string didn't quite cut it, stiffness-wise. Other than that? Great strings... The Black Tapes are La Bella's darkest sounding tapes; they make others - in other colors - that get progressively brighter sounding, if that should ever suit your fancy. If you should ever want something even darker sounding? Then you want Roto TruBass 88 Tapes; the darkest of them all. I use those on an old MIK Rogue VB-100 Violin Bass; they sound like something large and angry, growling at the bottom of a very deep well. Just what I want from that old thing...:cool:
