The strings are great and durable, but the package plastic bag feels so cheap, the strings come inside all together without an envelope for each like the earnie balls do, it's ok I guess, but the main bag should be more solid in my opinion, it has an small opened piece at the bottom.

Corde comodissime per l'action del mio basso, feeling al tatto molto leggero. L'ideale per me che sono arrugginito e non suonavo da tempo.Anche la scalatura scelta mi permette di suonare in velocità e di presenza allo stesso tempo dando quel tocco un po' metallico che mi piace nel sound scelto, non friggono per niente.

I used these for 35+ years, recently I figured I’d try a set of DR Black Beauties BKB5-40 since I had heard so much about them and I used them for a very short time, never was that satisfied with them so I ended up going back and purchasing a set of my Rotosound RS665LC which I had on my basses before. Not sure if I’m just so used to using the Rotos but I decided at this point from now on I’m just sticking to my Rotosounds brand and nothing else..

I absolutely love this brand of strings. I bought a jazz bass from guitar center and it had these strings. They stayed perfect for 5 years before I replaced them. I now put them on almost all of my bass guitars.

I've been using Rotosound bass strings since 1976, I love the tone, nothing else sounds or records like these. We do rock music so take that into consideration. These strings are very very bright sounding, they cut through a rock band in a great way and have amazing sustain.I always liked the sound Chris Squire from YES got, he used Rotosound bass strings.They only stay bright and great sounding for about six weeks, then they go into a deader kind of tone that is useable but not my favorite. When we're recording I love a fresh brand new set of these on the bass.Amazon has great prices on Rotosound bass strings. I use the four string version of these on my 51 P Bass, same gauges except without the low B string.These are great.Good luck and good music to all.
