Rotosound Short Scale Monel Flatwound Bass String Set (40-90)
The flatwound bass string that’s been awarded many accolades since its inception in 1966. Wound with the premium alloy Monel, Jazz Bass strings sound deeper and offer more resistance than the more commonly used stainless steel wrap.
Across the globe, players choose Jazz Bass flatwound strings for a full tone that retains its clarity. The distinctive sound and red silk ends of these strings have been revered by iconic bassists such as Roger Waters, Phil Lynott, Sting, John Deacon, Dee Murrey, and Glen Matlock.
Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Swing Bass 66 strings for consistent tone and performance in every packet. Every Swing Bass 66 string is still hand made by highly skilled engineers on James How’s original machinery.
Monel is an alloy of nickel and copper and brings to our strings the benefit of a strong tone and resistance to corrosion. The build spec remains a close kept secret but the Monel 400 tape used in Jazz Bass 77 strings brings out their true character over the much less costly flattened stainless steel.
