Hello, everyone. I have a new Ray4HH and I suspect the A string is bad. I have 2 Ray4HHs (1 for each house - lol) and I really dig the stock strings. The Sterling website simply says 45-105, but no other details.
Anyone know what they are? The only Ernie Ball long scale 45-105s I see, are these.
Anyone know if these are the ones?
That would be what I expect they would be yes.
They are EB strings. Caliper them to determine which ones, or, call them.
I replaced the original strings on my Sterling Ray4HH shortly after I bought mine. I kept the original strings and they are barely used. You are welcome to have them if you would like. (No cost to you other than shipping.) Send me a message if you are interested.
I ended up ordering the EB Hybrids from my earlier post. If they’re not the same strings, I’ll take you up on your offer. 
I’m not sure what it is about these strings, but I can pluck much faster and have more control with them compared to my typical strings. However, I love the sound and feel of my typical strings, so I’m not gonna restring my favorites for the EB hybrids when I only play a few songs that need them.
I’m just glad the Ray4HH was the MF SDOTD last week - got it pretty cheap. lol
What are your typical strings?
I use TI flats on my Js and my Ray34, LaBella DTB 39/96s on my Ps, DR Sunbeams on my TRBX and D’Addario Nickel 1/2 rounds on everything else - with the exception of the Ray4HHs.
I like the lower tension feel.
The EB Hybrids are the ones that come with the Ray4HH and the new string fixed my issue.
FWIW, I just put D’Addario ECB81-5 Chromes XL Flatwound on my Ray5HH and digging them so far. I like them better than the factory strings which I presume are just a 5 string variant of those hybrid slinkies.
I’ve tried the 4 string variant on a P. They were too tight for my taste. I replaced them with LaBella DTB 45/105s and I thought those were too tight as well. I finally settled on LaBella DTB 39/96s.
I have the Labella DTB 760FS-S on my short scale P bass. I like them, but you’re right about the tension. I may try their Low tension flats.
