{"product_id":"rotosound-billy-sheehan-custom-bass-guitar-string-set-rbs66","title":"Rotosound Billy Sheehan Custom Bass Guitar String Set RBS66","description":"Signature Sets\nThese strings, custom gauged by Billy Sheehan, provide the time tested Rotosound Swing Bass 66 standard set with two special advantages: A slightly lighter G provides a more even string to string tension across the neck and makes bending easier. A heavier E string makes for a tighter low end with increased mass for more volume in the lower register. The 0.110″ gauge also facilitates tuning down to a low ‘D’ without the string bottoming out or loss of intonation.\nFor the players\n“They really sound great, there’s a real organic feel to them, I’ve been to the factory where they’re hand making them…\n“It’s such a part of the tone of everything I do!”\n“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.”\nA string for everyone\nWith so many musicians experimenting with unique gauges and drop tunings it is hardly surprising to know that Swing Bass Custom Box Singles, first introduced in the ’60s, enjoy more popularity now than ever before.\nWith such a wide range starting from 0.025″ to 0.140″ in increments of 0.005″ there will be a gauge to suit everyone’s custom set.\nGreat British quality\nManufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings for consistent tone and performance in every packet.\nEvery Swing Bass 66 string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How.\nIconic music strings\nThis innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound strings in the sixties.\nDeveloped in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history.\nStarted 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.\nGathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis to Guthrie Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation.\nIndustry standard bass strings\nBright sound\nHard hitting tone\nStrong output\nThe classic British string sound\nHandmade in Britain\nFactory-fresh foil packaging\nStainless steel roundwound bass guitar strings - Billy Sheehan Custom\nPart No.\nGauge\nG-1\nD-2\nA-3\nE-4\nRBS66\nBilly Sheehan Custom\n.043\n.065\n.080\n.110\nRSH77\nSteve Harris Monel Flatwound\n.050\n.075\n.095\n.110","brand":"Rotosound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51945358688541,"sku":"RBS66","price":57.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/RBS66.webp?v=1782980447","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/rotosound-billy-sheehan-custom-bass-guitar-string-set-rbs66","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
