Ajoten Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Are they even a set? The E and the A look roundwound, D and G flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A = blue G = white D = red Requires a lot more muscle to play than had hoped, will put some tapes on when I've sussed the winding length.

What you could do if you like the strings otherwise is get a set of the 110-50 Roto flats and a single Rotosound 0.35 flat, discard the 110 and string the bass 95-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
