lowdowner Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just opened a new pack of Rotosound 66's to put on my bass and lo and behold, there's no 'E' string! There *is* an 'end' of the string in the envelope, but that's it! What on earth is going on? *tut* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Didn't Tony Levin used to play with just 3 strings? Mind you, I think it was the bottom 3 that he used. Still, you could break new ground by just playing with the top 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Maybe someone wanted to make a garotte for killing elephants? Roto 66's E sound like a perfect string to make it. But, seriously, what others said: call them and they'll probably replace it with sincere apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Instead of the string, did the pack contain the keyboard player's left-hand little finger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
