Rotosound Superwounds?

[Tommygunn]

My bass teacher tells me there were strings roto made a long time ago called superwounds... anybody know anything? Are they just swing66s but they changed the name?

[John Wentzien]

They are "pressure-wound"
They sqeeze the windings to flatten them out a little bit.
Great sounding with less fret noise..
I used them on my Steinberger for years. Very nice IMO

[John Wentzien]

I think they call them "solo-bass" now.

[Tommygunn]

Oh cool. He'd love to hear that, he has never found the right string ever since his last set of superwounds according to him.

Great strings!
