PHAT!

I bought these to use for dropped tuning on my Ibanez srff800. Due to the multi scale, I was looking to try larger gauge strings and tune down for some large low end bass vibrations. Ive been using this whole set tuned down to D for a few months now, and they are great. I play reggae and these provide a great sound and feel.
Please be aware that these strings are also higher tension due to their large gauge, stiffer to play, if you are considering larger gauge strings.
Multi scale instruments can help with the string tensions when using alternate tuning and(or) larger gauge strings.

Definitely a worthwile investment!
Anonymous 14.02.2015
I've been using Rotosound strings for about 6 years now, I've tried many other brands and gauges but I always seem to go back to these Rotosound RB50's because I love the fresh, bright tone they have when you first put them on a bass. The tone lasts about 2 months even for me (And I play for around 4-5 hours most days). I have always found that Nickel strings have a overall nicer tone and feel to them as opposed to steel strings because steel strings feel quite dry and sound fairly dull even when they are new.

I would definitely advise everyone to at least give these a go whether you're a beginner or a pro, you may find your new favourite strings!

Suprisingly not too heavy

Well, I adjusted the nut, put them on, and man oh man, the 45-105's from other brand that were before these, I didn't need to adjust the truss rod, they sound beefy, clear, without more tension. We shall see how long they last, I usually change strings once in two months.

Good Sounding Set Of Strings
Andrew9162 06.01.2014
I bought these to replace a set on a second hand Ibanez bass I bought. I play more fingerstyle and (combined with the bass's internal electronics, an EQ pedal, and a Trace Elliot amp) the strings give a nice smooth sound. I've used rotosound's on my acoustic guitar's for years, and their bass strings haven't disappointed.
A great set of strings, at a great price.

Best strings I've used for fingerstyle playing

The feel of the thicker gauge is lovely, and I could never go back to lighter ones. Also, the sound is clear and articulate, but not twangy, and they retained their sound for long with lots of playing.
