Hmmmm. Rotosound.

Their [b]guitar[/b] strings were truly terrible in the late 70s and early 80s, but I had a set a couple of years back (apparently fitted as standard on my JJ goldtop, so I replaced like for like) and the quality seemed much better. Not yet tried the bass strings, but will do soon as they seem to have a good rep.

Thanks. I had a bit of a dip in. I'm finding more and more that a number of articles on these web based 'magazines' seem to lack editing. In the old days column inches were expensive and a magazine editor would cut the copy down to the essential and important parts.

Sure it's nice to read all about how you:

[quote]had been up since the early hours of Monday, 23rd of May, as many a low end tune spun round and round in my mind planting seeds in my head for possible new tracks that I could potentially use and reveal them as proper finished songs at a later date. This meant I needed to record those ideas as soon as possible as they would surely disappear with the arrival of the following dawn. So there I was recording and writing in the wee small hours and onwards into what was to be a very hot Tuesday during that last week of May. While I was working inside on some of those latest idea’s for new material for my solo project, I began wondering just how on earth I was ever going to get things completed with my head on “fire” between those headphones in such heat. I decided it was time for a break, and so I got a coffee and gathered some bass reading material and found a nice cool shady spot in the garden and sat myself down for a well-earned break.[/quote]

but how exactly is that relevant to Rotosound bass string? Sorry but if it's a review of the factory visit just review the factory please. You lost me....

and what's with the CAPS in the thread title?

Last time I bought rotosounds I had three sets of jazz flats & they were terrible - totally uneven in feel & sound across each set. That was probably ten years ago, so hopefully they've improved since then. I've discovered strings I like much better than theirs which is a bit of a shame as they sound like nice people.

For me it's not the quality of Rotosound that is questionable, more the online mag that put out a "Review" I'm sorry but this isn't a "Review", factory tour and some basic history with "self plugging" maybe. Is this a first, I maybe wrong but does anybody know of product reviews done by endorsees? :) maybe there are...I don't know.
