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. The steel used to produce these strings is unique, combined with a highly secretive manufacturing process. Gauges: .045; .065; .080; .105
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

If you play a Rickenbacker 4001...
If you play a 4001 or 4003, these are the strings to have. The punch, the growl, it's all there. I'm not too aggressive of a player so they haven't eaten up my frets yet, but that's what luthiers are for, right? These bad boys stay in tune like nobody's business and when you play, everyone knows what strings you have on your axe.
I did get a slight bit of bridge lift (~1mm) on my 1980 4001, but it hasn't changed in 30 years, so I don't worry about it. Rotosound Swing bass strings and a 4001/4003 are a match made in heaven!

Chirs Squire in a box
ATTENTION: these strings are amazing!! they have a great trebly, piano/harpsichord-like tone that is sure to cut through in any mix or in any band. if you are going for the chris squire sound and can't afford a Ric 4001, these puppies (and a pick) will get you as close as you can to his legendary tone. they're also great for slapping and almost any other style of music if you adjust your tone pots and amp properly. I'm using them on my fender jazz and they work great. you can't go wrong- try these strings!
Highly recommended by a professional bassist!
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son who is a professional bass guitar player. He had this on his "wish list" through Amazon.com and stated that this is the only brand he uses. He claims you can definitely hear the difference and they last much longer both by heavy use and being exposed to the elements (their band plays lots of outdoor gigs as well). After being told the above, it seems rediculous to waste the $$ and buy anything else. Also, I would definitely purchase through this seller again. Delivery was very fast and they were packaged very well.
