Has anyone tried rotosound acoustic 5 string set

[motoman]

Hey guys looking for a better set of strings for my acoustic 5 string. I have there swing 66 on my electric 5 string and I like them. There bronze set is very expensive compared to other companies. I, m really interested in hearing how the B string sounds. So are they worth the extra money? I bought the ghs pressure wounds and I hated them. I can, t find any reviews on line about them. Thanks

Are you talking about the Pressurewound Bronze? Or, the Alloy 52?

What made you hate the GHS PW Bronze?

I currently have PW Bronze on my acoustic 5er and I like them more compared to the previous Elixir 80/20 Bronze w/ Nanoweb coating and earlier D'Addario Phosphor Bronze EXP coated I had on it.

I found them way to floppy and unplugged they were not as loud as the stock bronze ones

Agree, the PW Bronzes are lighter gauge (42-54-74-92-120), hence, floppier than other previous bronze strings I had on my acoustic (Elixir were 45-65-80-100-125 and D'Addario were 45-65-80-100-130). But, these few years I'm all in with lighter gauge strings. My main bass has 40-60-80-100-120. Also my fretless is using 40-120. And I often use my acoustic plugged in. So, the PW Bronzes are my current favorite acoustic bass strings.
