does anyone use rotosounds on their sr's of sterling's

 

[bovinehost]

I bet someone does, but it wouldn't be me.

 

[JB1]

Nor would it be me.

Yuk.

Never liked 'em.

 

[stingraydude]

i did use them for a couple of months but i changed back to ernie ball's because the rotosounds didn't quite fit my style

I use the BS66, Billy Shehhan signature set on a Yamaha Attitude LTDII, sound great! but, the tension of these strings are hi!! The brightenss remains for loong time.

I use in my SR5 and SR Ernie Ball strings.

I tried them on my SR5 and did not like them at all. The tension is to high for my taste and they seemed hard to intonate. I love the DR round core strings (highbeams or sunbeams) and I have also heard great things about TI superalloys, but I haven't tried them yet.

 

[kdsi44]

nope, no way those strings are gettin on my bass...tried em and didnt like....

 

[Morrow]

got my last pack about fifteen years ago- they used to be the rage. It took them forever to settle down and thump. I wasn't too crazy about the way they sounded fresh but I remember those that replaced them every week or so.

I used them, great for rock, stay bright for a long time. Not that good for slap due to high tension in the string and they can chew your fingers up if you play heavy.

 

[oldbluebassman]

Yup. I've got Rotosound Nickels on my Bongo and an SR5. Nice high tension. Stay bright a long time. Cheap. Nice sound.

TI flat wound jazz

probably the best rock-sound strings out there!

 

[Franky]

I use dean markley bluesteel's on my SUB, they sound fine.

 

[prickly_pete]

EB Slinkys on my Rays, and Jazz basses. I'm in the market for a 62 reissue P-Bass, and I'lll put flats on that. I don't really like the idea of low tension TIs. Anybody use EB flats? Opinions?

 

[element]

I have a rotosound on my bass, only because it was that or nothing. I think it sounds too tinny, so will be getting a new set of EB's soon.

What is so great about Rotosound? There's always someone going on about them. What's the deal? I've never used 'em...

 

[rulyøngo]

I Don't like the Rotosounds too "irregulars" sometimes came fresh other times came dead... Better go with LaBella hard Rocking Steels if you are looking for that sound...

in my case, I prefer either D'Adddarios or DR LowRiders on my STERLING...

IMHO - nothing is great about them.

I use Elixir, Ashdown Wide Boy Fatties, or Elites Statdium (all stainless).

Tried ROTOs onxce - didn't like 'em. Have only ever gone back to them if there's nothing else.

Ashdowns are rotosounds.
