The Rotosound RS66LD Long Scale Swing 66 Bass Strings are a set of round-wound stainless steel strings from the iconic British brand that pioneered this style. Rotosound was the first string company to produce round-wound stainless steel bass strings, introducing them in 1962 and they've become the favorite of bassists like Billy Sheehan, John Paul Jones and Geddy Lee. The RS66LD Long Scale Swing 66 Bass Strings feature a balanced gage set with a bright, punchy tone perfectly suited for rock and metal. The stainless steel wrap wire is precision-wound onto a steel core, producing a cutting tone with plenty of midrange and treble. The balanced tension makes these strings comfortable to play while still retaining a taut, responsive feel.

Round-Wound Stainless Steel Construction

The RS66LD Long Scale Swing 66 Bass Strings are constructed from round-wound stainless steel, which produces a bright, punchy tone with enhanced clarity and articulation. The stainless steel alloy is highly resistant to corrosion and sweat, ensuring these strings retain their tone and playability for a long time. The round-wound wrap wire adds texture under the fingers, providing a familiar feel for most rock and metal bassists.

Balanced Tension and Feel

Rotosound carefully engineered the RS66LD Long Scale Swing 66 Bass Strings to have a balanced tension, which provides a comfortable playing feel while still being responsive.

The long scale length, specifically tailored for standard 34" scale basses, maximizes the potential of your instrument.
