RS55LD NOT RS66LD!!! Are these worthwile on a P-bass if I want a really raw growly sound? Anybody know off hand (I've done bunches of searches) where I can get them cheapest?
Steve Harris can get growl out of the flats on a P, so why not the pressurewounds. I don't know about customs in the US, but you'll get a set shipped for around 33$ here (The shop is in the UK) Good luck.
Yes, the RS55 "Solo Bass" are great. The wire is "rolled" as it goes onto the core, yielding a smoother feel and less wear without sacrificing the roundwound tone. These sets are not often stocked by music stores, so they're kinda hard to find. Your best bet would be to contact Rotosound USA directly, you may be able to buy them direct if there is not a supplier in your local area. Call 818-505-0158, and ask for Hammer, he can probably hook you up if you want a few sets. Cheers, Slug
You might want to email your friendly strings forum sponsor (wink wink). I don't have them listed at my site, but I can get them... and about $5 cheaper than one particular online string megastore. Tom
