I’ve been using this brand of strings for a very long time and was buying them from a local shop that sadly went out of business so I started buying them off of Amazon. Great tone and you can get a good slap tone as well as Metal.

48 years I have played many other strings on my Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender bass guitars and I have always come back.to tho original roundwound Rotosound. You just cannot duplicate their sound with anything else. Do yourself a favor and buy these strings.

I put these on an 80s Kramer Striker bass. Rotosound has the bite and grit required for loud rock and metal bass playing. The feel is rougher than nickel roundwounds but you get used to it quickly.For the first week, the treble response was incredible and every note would sing like a piano string. This tapered off after a week and now they sound like standard nickel roundwounds but with a mid-range bump.Buy a set if you've ever wanted your bass to sound super bright and cut through a mix like nobody's business.

If you like your bass punchy, a bit trebly and articulate these are the strings for you. If they were good enough for Chris Squire and John Entwistle they're good enough for me. They're the only strings I'll put on my basses. Love them to pieces.

The deep!! Lows are so hard and TONE. There is reason many big names play these. These are not very bright, even new. These sound so good fresh you can play gigs and not have to wait for them to mellow. I love the ‘45s as well, they have a touch more top end but super similar. The ‘66s are super deep. You can obtain flat string sounds and killer round tones. ‘66s are killer, I’ll probably stick with these for quite sometime. Playing some other competitor strings, that cost more, did not work out. Rotos for the tone.

Great bass strings, get that real Rickenbacker sound on your Rickenbacker, sound like the late great Chris Squire.. These are the best strings to purchase.

I have tried may sets of strings on the JC Signature and gone back and forth with flats vs rounds. I must have played Chromes for over three years and liked the mid-range growl you can get by digging in, but got tired of the high tension on the strings. I settled in to GHS pressure rounds and Elixers since i wanted the brightness of a round without the zingy upper register. On a whim I tried the RS66 and am so happy that I did. They are rounds but don't have a terribly bright character. They work well with the Varitone switch allowing for different tonal effects. The tension is less that a flat and the string noice seems low for a round. They are a little rough on the fingers compared to pressure rounds but more comfortable compared to other rounds I have tried. I can't say anything about durability as they have only been on around a week. But at this price point, I'm not hesitant to buy a new set when needed.
