For the players
They really sound great, there’s a real organic feel to them, I’ve been to the factory where they’re hand making 
them… It’s such a part of the tone of everything I do!I’m a finger player and when my fingers grip the string the 
edges on the Rotosound’s, because they’re hand wound, grip really strongly so 
I can get a really good snap of power out of each note.”
– Billy Sheehan"

synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history. Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made 
strings for his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and 
famous endorsees such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started 
a long partnership with James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry 
standard. Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis

Tru Bass 88 Nylon Tapewound Long Scale - Standard Gauge 65-115

Specifically designed and patented in 1962 to emulate the mellow sound of an upright bass 
using flatwound black nylon ribbon, our Tru Bass strings have been embraced by players of all styles.
Originally conceived by James How to be fitted to the Burns Black Bison bass, Tru Bass strings may be 
the nearest you will ever get to a double bass tone from an electric bass.

Transformative strings
Most famously used by Sir Paul McCartney on the Beatles’ Abbey Road, Tru Bass strings have been 
utilised by jazz, fusion, dub, and reggae players.
The distinctive black wrap and yellow silk ends of these strings have been spotted on basses 
belonging to icons such as Bruce Foxton, Graham Maby, and Herbie Flowers.

Tru double bass tone
The magnetic stainless steel undercovers that sit below the special black nylon tape ensures 
the best of both worlds by having a bass that is comfortable to handle, that will work with a 
conventional amplifier and yet offers a sound so reminiscent of its much larger brother.
String up a fretless electric bass with Tru Bass strings for a double bass like tone that will
turn heads!
