Swing Bass 66 Nickel Standard - Long Scale - 45-130
A nickel-coated version of Rotosound's best-selling Swing Bass 66 strings.
This is the roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected into what was to become
the industry standard.
The bright, punchy, high-energy sound of Swing Bass 66 strings is a major part of early rock music
history and brought the bass player from the back line to the front of the stage."
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"
