This is my first time buying Rotosound, and they sound fantastic- very bright and clear, and the color-coded ends help when stringing.

Been a long time since the last set still a good product. Quick shipping like always.

I put these on my Modulus TBX, and they're very nice, clear and musical. It surprises me that Rotosound strings are still only made in their original shop in the UK! So these imported bass strings compete well against other manufacturers who charge much much more (Austrian company)... and even against fine manufacturers here (New York)...

They're nice, and I prefer stainless steel over nickel for feel and sound. Also, I'm picky and I wonder how old a new set is, (how long has it sat on a shelf) but Rotosound uses a air-tight seal on their strings so they're fresh. Some big names have used Rotosound from the beginning and yet the price remains competitive.

I am very pleased with my selection. Rotosound RS666LD is my favorite set of string for my bass. The sound is great and Sweetwater delivered quickly and a great customer service. Thanks, Sweetwater!
