GREATEST EVER!

The best strings I ever used. The gauges are perfect. The .043 G gives you that fat round tone and is not too thick for playing harmonics. The .110 E string gives you a lot of "booty" for thumping. A lot more thump and bass than a .105 E string. On top of that you get that complex tonal struture that only Rotosound can deliver! As soon as you put them on they put you in the zone!

I got his signature Yamaha right away the strings sounded awesome but i was stupid, so i replaced them with Fender Jazz strings, awful i regret doing that, now I'm hoping to buy two pack of those within 2 months since they don't sell Rotosounds in Canada

I got these strings and was a little nervous about trying a new type string, but I was surprised. They were great, the sound was bright and they last a LONG time. A great buy.

I own a Yamaha Attitude bass. Since Billy Sheehan helped to come up with such a great bass, I figured that I should buy these strings to put on it. I love how they feel on my fingers. The 110 works great with the hipshot, and the 43 makes tapping easier. I also use standard rotos on all my other basses, they sound great and last forever.
