Back to rotosound swing66

Sign in to disble this ad
Ussually Ive left a new set of GHS boomers or Ernie Ball slinkys on till their near needing change. But going back to rotosounds 66 about halfway to that point this time round. At one and allmost a half months. Allready changed one of the basses and one of the guitars over. Do the other bass tommorow evening after gets home with some new sets of rotosounds. Lol. I do think I'll start changing rotosounds about every 2 and half months rather then the 3 to 3 and half months Ive been doing.

So for those who have a diff brand of strings they use for an alternate now and then. How long do you usually use those before going back to your main brand?

When I try other strings I ALWAYS go back to Rotosound. There is nothing like them. I buy the Sheehan set because the thick E and A strings can be tuned down without being floppy. GHS super steels and pressurewounds I'll use on occasion.

Rotosound bass strings are the way to go. I've tried too manny bass strings and the order that i came up with is something like.
Rotosound-swing 66
GHS Boomers
Fender stainless steals
and i suppose DR strings but they're over priced.

If you play in drop tuning deffinatly get a thicker gauge.
