Product Detail
In 1974, these strings were first developed under the Rotosound name as 'Super Bass'. Later that year, the 'Superwound' string company was formed to focus on bass and guitar strings with the unique 'piano string design'. This special design uses the contact core concept, similar to piano strings where only the core is exposed over the instrument's bridge. The sets come with a 'ball and cone' system or 'adjustable ballends', which can achieve a 6mm cover termination distance from the bridge saddles for different long - scale models. These strings offer unmatched sustain and presence, while also freeing up upper harmonics that would otherwise be lost. The action is slightly reduced when using them. Stanley Clarke once said they have 'the hottest sound I have ever heard'. They provide ultimate power, sustain, and brightness. The contact - core design improves string movement and fits any bridge styles. Gauges: 45 65 85 105 130. PLU: RS99LD5
Using these Rotosound bass guitar strings is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in a stable position. Then, carefully install the strings one by one, using the 'ball and cone' or 'adjustable ballends' to set the correct distance from the bridge saddles. When tuning, do it slowly to avoid breakage. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove dirt and sweat. This will help keep the strings in good condition and maintain their great sound. Remember, since the action is slightly reduced with these strings, you might need to adjust your playing style a bit. If you notice any signs of wear or if the sound starts to deteriorate, it's time to replace the strings.
