Your cart is empty.The most popular Roundwound bass string ever. Rotosound was the first string company to produce this kind of string. Introduced in 1962 it changed the sound of the instrument instantly. The favourite string of many players including Billy Sheehan, John Paul Jones and Geddy Lee. Available in all popular gauges and scale lengths. The steel used to produce these strings is unique, combined with a highly secretive manufacturing process.

I love the way these sound on my Cort Headless bass. The slightly heavier string required a small truss rod adjustment but that is something every bass player should know how to do. Great low end and a fantastic mid range for that 'fresh bass' sound. My only complaint is that it didn't take very long for them to dull, but that could be because I use the heck out of this bass. They are perpetually in my cart waiting for me to buy the next set.

I've been using Roto's since the 70's and they've remained remarkably consistent over the years. They retain their brightness and clarity for long periods of time, to the point where I change my strings in years, not months. They never seem to go dead. I can count the strings I've broken on one hand as well.In a sea of different brands of bass strings, Rotosound is still head and shoulders above the competition.

I've been using these strings (not this actual set!) for 40 years now. I've tried other brands but they never seem to sound as bright or have the same longevity. well done rotosound - thanks for keeping it low!

Well, it's the first time I've ever replaced a set of double ball-end strings and I can tell you, it IS as easy as they say it's gonna be!No winding string ends round the posts and chopping them off, no slippage, no extra pair of hands needed.But anyway, this is supposed to be a review of the strings, not the double ball-end system, so I'll just say that these Rotosounds are bright and punchy. I'm using them on my Hohner B2ADB and they sound great, even when I lower the E string to C# or D.

Owners of original Steinberger L1-L2 basses should note that these instruments originally used Rotosound Superwound 606 strings and were a double-ball round wound single-wire-core exposed at the bridge end of the string. The original Steinberger L2 bridge saddles (v1) were made for the single core (bare single wire core) type string. Rotosound RDB 66LD string sets will not fit on original Steinberger L1, L2 basses without modifying the original bridge saddles.Rotosound RDB66LD Swing Bass 66 strings are wound all the way to each ball-end and unfortunately the original v1 bridge saddle seat is too narrow to fit these strings without modifying (cutting wider and deeper grooves) in the bridge pieces.If you own an original Steinberger L1 or L2 bass please note that Rotosound RDB66LD Swing Bass 66 strings will not fit your bass.

Put these on a Steinberger Spirit bass. Sound great with a better over all tone.
