T-Bay Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 My recently acquired Gibson came with a new set of strings and I am more than happy with the sound so want to get a spare set. The seller has not replied to requests for info so I am trying to ID them. They are roundwound. There are no visible cotton/ silk/ windings and the ball ends are red, blue, white and red E-G. I think they are rotosounds but would be interested to know which type. Is there any way of finding out? Quote
Green Alsatian Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 They sound like Rotosound Rotobass strings - no silks, but carry the red/white/blue ball ends of other Rotosound strings. http://www.rotosound.com/rotobass/ Quote
T-Bay Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Forgot to say they are nickel so the rorobass sounds like a good shout. Quote
T-Bay Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Just had a look and they are seriously cheap. Are they the same as the RS Jazz but without the silk winding? Quote
