Got Free RotoSound 66s at the SIMMM

[Jazzin']

The SIMMM is like the NAMM of Montreal. It's only the second year of it, but it's twice as large as last year. I checked out the RotoSound/Ashdown booth and the man started to talk to me about RotoSounds. I told him I had never tried them but I was very interested. He was like "Here, take them".

Pretty cool. I just got some 30$ strings for free. I need new strings on my fretted Jazz, because my DR FatBeams have lost their brightness. I still haven't tried the strings on since I've had no time. This might just be the sound I'm looking for.

Anyone else check out the SIMMM?

Never been there/heard of SIMMM..but congrats on the strings.

I love the 66's on my Jazz.

i was happy with my rotosound strings until i broke them 3 weeks later...

thats cool you scored the free pack...nothing like free stuff

I still use Rotosounds about 28 years after buying my first pack. I've tried other brands, sometimes for a year or so, but have always evntually come back to the good old Swing Bass rounds. Never had a bad one, or broken one, honestly!

My guess is you'll enjoy that free set when you get them on your bass. "Zing went the strings of my heart."

I like 'em just fine but I like certain strings better.

I really dig their Billy Sheehan set though.

Nice score.

I use the Jazz Bass Flats on two of my basses and Love them.

Never gotten any free though.

Swing 66's 40 - 90 and Funkmasters 35-95 my favorite strings for the past 30 years.
