john_the_bass Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Does anybody have a pack of these handy and can you tell me the code printed on the top of the paper packets for the jazz bass 77 (monel flat wounds?) I was sent a replacement .085 A string for one that snapped the ball end off the first time I fitted it with code "JBL 085" printed on the top of the packet. I don't have the old packaging for reference, but this string has a slightly different feel to it and is significantly quieter than the other 3 strings. I want to make sure that I've been sent the right one before I send another email to rotosound. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 unless of course, they just use the same packets for all of their strings..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 the pack I have is black and has the label "Custom Bass Strings"... the sticker says "SM77 Jazz Bass" the four envelopes inside have : JBL040, JBL060, JBL080 & JBL100 not sure if they are Monel either... they were the only set of flats in the shop, so I bought them...

john_the_bass Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Cool, thanks Paul It must be right then - although it has a totally different feel and an almost dead sound to the others I might send them another email, but I don't want rotosound to think I am hassling them!!

Paul Cooke Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 the gauges for SM77 Jazz Bass Monel Flats on their website are as follows: [code]4 String Sets----- SM 77 : 40 60 80 100 - RS 77LD: 45 65 85 105 - RS 77LE: 50 75 95 110[/code] not sure why my box was black though...

john_the_bass Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 yeah it was the "JBL" bit that was bothering me although thinking about it, this probably means "[b]J[/b]azz [b]B[/b]ass [b]L[/b]ongscale" I think it's a duff string.
