Have you always wondered where the distinctive bass sound of the Beatles on Abbey Road or Lou Reed's Transformer came from?
The answer lies largely in this one-of-a-kind string set.
Tru Bass 88 strings are covered with a black nylon sheath. Very smooth to the touch, they imitate the sound of an upright bass uncannily well... but without the bulk!
Protected from oxidation, Tru Bass 88 strings last several years and can quite well be fitted occasionally to extend your sound palette.
A must-try!
Tru Bass 88 strings are available in 4 and 5 strings and for different scale lengths.
To keep the strings fresh, Rotos are packed in a protective atmosphere. With no individual paper sleeve (paper does contain moisture), the strings have a color code on the ball ends so they can be easily identified.
Made since 1958 in Kent, England, RotoSound strings are shipped directly from the factory to your store. This distribution system keeps the carbon emissions generated during transport to a minimum.
