Rotosound Swing Bass 66N Nickel Strings

Specifically about the 40-100 SM66N set...

(I used to use Elites Player Series, same gauge, but they got worse since Elites started sourcing offshore. So swapped to the similarly priced SM66N from Rotosound. Made in UK.)

Pros:

  • Smooth soft feel - pretty good for a sub-£20 roundwound
  • Flexible
  • Last for ages with consistent tone
  • Good with single coil setups - J-style etc.

Cons:

  • Can emphasise the midrange harmonic overtones more than the fundamental
  • That means less low-end thump, particularly with the light gauge
  • Not so good with my Bartolini Classic soapbars, which are already harmonics-rich
  • Sky-blue silks can look naff on your headstock
