I was looking to try different strings because I just got tired of the same old strings. they are Super light, and it took a few jams to get used to them after switching from Ernie Ball slinkies. Once I got used to them, they are awesome, not too hard to slap with and a great sound too. Very good strings, I'm hooked.

Doesn't fit P-bass?

Love Rotosound, so decided to try light funkys. The package says Long Scale, but they are about 2" short for a P-bass for some reason. Maybe meant for 30-32" scale?

  • Never thought'd like a light gauge string. They are great.

    I just put these on a vintage PJ ESP bass I rebuilt and they are PERFECT. I feel I must put these on all my basses now. I'm spoiled and can't put this bass down. The tone is killer, they are super fast and funky. Easy on the hands and add to my expressiveness. Rotosound has a new customer for life.

    Easy to play and sound great. Too much fun. The heavy gauge string is dead to me.

    Wow, I've been using GHS light for many years and even tried flatwound, but these string are the best. They have a bright sound the playability is so much easier for bending, vibrato and just zipping around the neck. I just found my forever strings :)

  • Extra comfort!
