Bass strings
Three or four years ago i picked up a Fender acoustic bass somewhere with the intent of either my wife or i learning to play. Last weekend we let the bass player in her church band use it for an acoustic deal, and he raved about the strings that were on it (same ones that were on it when i bought it--so definitely NOT new!!).
Neither he nor any of his "bass buddies" had ever seen or played any like them--black wound, almost feel like a silk winding. Winding on both ends is a fairly bright green. They are the appropriate length for a bass guitar, so it's not an upright string that's been cut down.
Anyone have any thoughts as to the identity?? I can try to get a few pictures tonight if necessary. Thanks in advance for any input you might have!!
