The full story

Description

Swing Bass 66 Double ball end version of Rotosound's popular Swing Bass 66 strings. Designed for use on Steinberger™, Status®, and other headless basses. 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.” A string for everyone With 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. With 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. Great British quality Manufactured 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. Every Swing Bass 66 string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How. Iconic music strings This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound strings in the sixties. Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are 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 to Guthrie Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation.
