Rotosounds.....'Bum G string'!

[iconic]

....I know didn't like these Swing Bass when I bought them just over a year ago, had them on my RBX for a few minutes, hated them and put them back in the box....15 months on I have fitted them to my SB and the G string is as dead as a dead thing can be....I never really understood what people meant by a dead string, I sure do now

....how can it die after a few minutes use, maybe the acids n stuff on my hands have degraded the string or they are just poor strings? Any tips for storing strings?

....I whip my Ernie Ball flatties out every month or so and they have been around every bass I have and they seem like new still.

....new set of Slinky Roundwounds on their way...

IME Rotosound strings have an extremely short shelf life. Plus they appear to be incapable of making consistent strings in anything other than standard gauge 34" 4-string sets.

If you absolutely have to use Rotosounds then buy them direct from Rotosound at a trade show. Anything else is asking for a disappointment.
