A Historic Rock Reference, Adapted for Today's Bassists
Since 1958, Rotosound has established itself as an essential brand in the history of British and European rock. The Swing Bass series has influenced generations of musicians, notably through the development of the Roundwound string with John Entwistle (The Who). The Swing Bass 66 Nickel set carries this sonic DNA while offering a warmer response and a smoother feel than the stainless steel version, ideal for both pick and finger playing.
