What is so bad about Rotosound strings?

[Ricky Rioli]

SB66

I know this is perfectly reasonable abbreviation, but each time I see it I start trying to work out which specific set of gauges this might be, a confusion born of Rotosound's quirky choices of codes and names for different sets:

RS66LE Heavy 50-70-85-110
RS66LF Custom 45-65-85-105
RS66LD Standard 45-65-80-105
SM66 Hybrid 40-60-80-100
RS66LC Medium 40-60-75-95
RS66LB Medium Light 35-55-70-90
FM66 Funkmaster 30-50-70-90
RS66LA Extra Light 30-50-65-85

I actually kinda like the rough texture of them. And they’re not that rough.

Same here.

I use the RSLD Standard set.

Nothing wrong with them. These days they are not any rougher than any other strings. Back in the day though, they would grind your callus' into dust!
