I love my T-Bucket bass, but need to swap for flat-wound strings. I can't find my micrometer - What is the OEM gauge on the original strings?

According to the product page specs, the original strings are "Fender® Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Bass 7060, (.045-.095 Gauges)".

Excellent - thanks, the specs for the 7060 are now 45-100, and I did find my micrometer, and I mic'ed the E on mine at 99. I ordered some flatwounds close to those specs,

I love the bass, and am looking forward to playing it out, but the finger noise on that particular one was driving me crazy. Even when I was able to eliminate most of it, because I could still it could hear it it was distracting, even taking the fingers off the string would scrape.

Thanks for your help!

Oh wow, T-Bucket bass - I didn't know these existed. They look nice!

Yeah, my plan is to use it with a pignose amp in an otherwise acoustic open house setting. Tired of carrying around the double bass!

The finger noise is pretty high though, I'm pretty sure I can rid of most of it with flatwounds.
