To Me, Rotosound Swing SS 40/100 sound more articulate and cut through better than 45/105. I don't feel there's any loss in low end either. Any opinions. |

I'm not hurting for lows in any way, and I get that great snarl when I want it.

Plus I have a set of Nordstrand nj4se pus help. Maybe it the lighter string core that makes it more flexible. Any way, I like playing the standard gauge, but the hybrid gauge I use has great all around sound.
Does anyone use even lighter Rotos like 30-90?

Between amp settings, playing technique, tone control on the bass(if any)....I've no problems with 40-60-80-100's here.
IMO they also seem to provide a certain "bounce" that makes playing easier for some reason and more fun. Standardized my basses with them.

From a while now I've been using all 40-100, both DR and Rotosound. I like Roto's a bit more for my kind of sound, growly, yet not light, if ya catch my drift.

Now I like 45-105's on my P-Basses and 45-100's on my Jazz.
I tryed 40-95's before and they are just too light for me. I kill them very quickly.
