New Stingray! Can anyone identify the strings please?

[Hutton]

Got this used Ray yesterday and am trying to work out what it is strung with. They are roundwounds of some description. Anybody help?

[CHRISDABASS]

My first guess would be rotosound swing bass.

Could be wrong though

[geoffbyrne]

You'd think they'd be EB.s, wouldn't you?

Whatever it's strung with - it looks very nice indeed. Congratulations on your nbd.

The best colour combination for a stingray IMO. Lovely

[Hutton]

The reason I'm really asking is that I like the strings and thought I would replace them, when the time comes, with the same set. Unless of course anyone has any other suggestions?

Beautiful instrument - a cracking colour combination of black/black/maple. Delicious.

I tend to use whatever my pro player friend gives me these days

Rotosound Swing Bass are fine sounding strings , but be aware that they tend to eat your frets pretty quickly, especially if you're a hard player. The are plenty of similaly bright sounding steel strings on the market that are a bit more gentle and more consistant from set to set , like Elites Stadium , Dean Markley SR2000 or D'addario Prosteels .

Lovely bass, by the way. Still my favourite Stingray colour combo.

The red cotton thing on both end leads me to think is Rotosound.

I always founds elites good on my 2002 teal and maple ray, id try them as I hate rotos!
