I had never tried stainlesss steel strings before and was excited to hear the super-bright tone this material promised. And at a bargain price!

After taking off a set of D'Addario EXL-170s which are nickel-wound strings, I was very disappointed to hear the Rotosounds were duller than the three-month-old D'Addarios. Not only that but the B-string sounded like complete mud in comparison. And these were brand new!

For what it's worth, this was on an Ibanez SR605, so you may experience different results with a different bass.

Great ss strings
Anonymous 18.11.2015
As stainless strings enthusiast I must admit that those are one of my favorites, but they have a major drawback - they don't last long.

Pros
- aggressive bright sound
- lots of zing when fresh
- vacuum packed
- silk wrapped at the end to protect the machine heads

Cons
- don't last long (after a single 40 minute gig they went almost completely dead, and I don't even sweat much)
- non tapered B (issue for some)
- a bit rough on the fingers
- unusual A string thickness (0.80)

Strings for my Brother
Neuqorel 14.01.2021
I ordered this for my older Brother who play bass since 1996, he plays a lot of gigs, and he asked me precisely this brand and type, because it last longer (3-4 times as he said) then any other bass strings.

Classic rock strings - but be careful with Warwicks!
Klausi2 13.02.2014
The Rotosound Strings are well known and often used rock strings that come for a very reasonable price. Fit and feel are solid nothing especially positive or negative here worth mentioning. With one exception - they won't fit your five string Warwick! the Problem is the two-piece Warwcik bridge which is designed for the Warwick strings which come with a tappered b-string. Altough some non-tappered b-strings fitted well (DR High Beam for example) the .130 b-string from Rotosound was just a little bit too thick. You might be able to fix this with a file but i rather used them on another bass and bought Warwick black Label strings for my Warwick again

Just love Roto strings. Love bright sound. Some people suggest they rip up frets and the brightness doesn't last. I don't agree with the ripping up of the frets. The brightness may not last quite as well as some strings, but the sound once they have settled is very good.

Great value for money
Black Bear Studio 15.05.2018
Nice bright sound and quite long lifetime. I use this set of fretless bass and it sounds great. After a long time of using flatwound strings now I feel that my bass is a new instrument. Maybe not important detail but the red string endings look cool.

Really good bright and hard hitting tone. Very good price and quality ratio. Long life and good bass sounds. Ideal for beginner and professional players also. Easy to tune and not tuned in during the playing.
