thegom Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Playing Rotosound Swingbass on my US Sterling at the moment and had Super Slinkys before. Quite happy with both, the super Slinkys are nice and balanced and suit a variety of styles, the Rotosounds are fantastic in-your-face metallic noisy, bright and rock'n'roll... recorded with an old Ampeg on our latest EP a dream. However, for live, I find them a bit too much and too dominant so before I go back to the Slinkys... Any string recommendations? Genre is classic hard rock.

Pinball Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Hi, I play rock and use Rotosound 77 flatwounds. I bought a bass a couple of years back already had them on and I fell in love with them and they are perfect on my Stingray. What I like about them is they are response to changes in playing position. Loads bright enough for me. I think there were some for sale on here a few days back Another alternative would be to try Status Hotwire halfrounds.

thegom Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Got Hybrid Slinkys, and they are fantastic. Can really recommend them with the MM Sterling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Rotosound Nickel Rounds - just a tad warmer than thier steel cousins, so more suited to "in the mix". That said, the Roto Steels do lose their brightness fairly quickly, and then die down to a nice balanced tone. I use them, and hate them new. Once a set is on, it stays until I get tuning issues, which is usually a year-plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
