The original and best!

This is the bass string period! Especially if rock music in any form is being performed. I use this heavier gague for tuning DGCF. It works great and gives a similar tension as the RS66LD in standard tuning. The sound is really punchy with great harmonics. If cutting through the mix yet keeping a solid foundation is vital, then this is THE string to use. As for durability, I haven't experienced any other strings to match these. They don't seem to ever go dead only different. As much as I enjoy a fresh set, I really love the sound of broken in rotos. If new to these they might feel a bit rough on the fingers at first. This is something that's easy to get used to and subsequently is required (any other string just feels slippery to me).
Fret wear? Nothing I have noticed in my 20+ years as a rotosound player.

Best strings in the world.

These are, without a doubt, the best sounding and feeling strings I have ever used in my 20+ years as a bassist.

They're a bit higher tension than other strings of similar gauge, which suits me fine. I play with a heavy right hand. And they sound absolutely marvelous!

The only downside is that they die a bit quicker than other strings, so I need to change them more often. If I could afford it, I'd buy a shipping container of these and play a fresh set every day for the rest of my life.

A classic tone

Since I heard Jaco played on Rotosounds, I pretty much never had any other string. I'm now very used to the gritty feel they provide, both tonally and physically. These are among the roughest strings I've ever played on, so that should definitely be a consideration. They're quite middy, excellent for rock and slap. I prefer the 66LE version of these strings, because of the slightly fatter E string (105). Do recommend!
