Product Description

From the manufacturer

RB45

Rotosound RB45 Rotobass Nickel Bass Strings

From an iconic, legendary British brand

This very popular nickel on steel string offers the best of both worlds. Without sacrificing on quality, Rotosound engineers have simplified the design specifications.

This enables the savings made to be passed on to the customer and to offer no less than six sets of choice.

The sound, balance, feel and tone remains uppermost in Rotosound’s commitment to offer the musician the very best in value for money.

These strings are manufactured on 'state of the art' computer controlled string winding machines that have been developed by Rotosound engineers to bring you a consistently good product time and time again.

Why Rotosound?

For over fifty years now their strings have changed the sound of rock and have been used on some of the most amazing albums recorded by some of the best artists in the business.

By helping music icons like Jimi Hendrix, John Entwistle and Geddy Lee to create their amazing sounds, Rotosound strings have become synonymous with the British Tone.

Founded in 1958 by James How as a small, UK based, family-owned and operated company, Rotosound core values are little changed today. Each string is physically and visually inspected at every stage of the manufacturing process to get maximum consistency, ensuring each one is unrivaled in tone, tuning stability and durability.The highest quality materials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Dog!! Little more higher freq than 66’
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
Style: SingleVerified Purchase
I loved the 45’s. It seemed like more highs than the stainless ‘66s and more “action” in the play maybe. When you take a set off and keep it just in case because it was such a great set. I prefer the stainless ‘66 but just by a little bit. If I feel like I want just a little more top and bounce I’ll go back to ‘45s. The old broke in set I have sounded great and expect to use for a nice vintage mellow tone recording. Such great tone. I played a couple competitor sets and thought they were horrible. No near the bottom the Roto’s have. The deep dark tone is spellbinding.

They were exactly the sound i was looking for... bright enough to cut through the mix, but not too harsh and a good low end thump! The nickel is easier on the fingers and frets, too!

Las cuerdas tiene un sonido brillante, sin llegar a ser agresivo, con buena definición, con predominio de medios y graves. Mis favoritas hasta el momento. Uso el 45/65/85/105 pero no dudo las mas delgadas tengan buen sonido

These are great strings. When it comes to my bass guitars other than the occasional set of Snarling Dogs back in the day I've always used Rotosound bass strings. They last a long time, sound great and I've never had an issue with quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfekter Sound und haltbar
Reviewed in Germany on March 15, 2024

Wer's gerne definiert und knurrig ohne übertriebene Höhen direkt nach dem Aufspannen mag ... zugreifen ! Ich setze nur noch Rotosound ein (auf Ibanez Saber- & SR-Serie und Aria Pro II custom made) in den Musikrichtungen Funk, Soul, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Fusion. Das "Fingergefühl" auf den Rotos ist auch sehr gut - nicht zu rauh, nicht zu "rutschig". Haltbarkeit ohne starken "Ton-Verlust": ca. 4 Monate im Studio / täglich 1-2 Stunden. Ich würde ein Antesten jedem empfehlen ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars The industry standard.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2024
Style: SingleVerified Purchase
Not the lightest gauge strings (I usually use Swing Bass sets) but these are solid and bright sounding and just about unbreakable. If you own a lot of basses, restringing them can be expensive, but Rotosound strings are worth the cost and the ones to go for. The industry standard. Consistently good. In almost 50 years of playing, I have only ever had one string with a weak core (years ago), which is testament to how good these strings are.

Reviewed in Spain on December 26, 2019

Venía de utilizar unas Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt, (que son mis favoritas), pero su precio hizo que buscara otras alternativas mas viables economicamente (yo no gano nada con la música, es un hobby para mi).
Decidí probar este juego de cuerdas Rotosound y aunque tiene diferencias en rango dinámico y menos volumen de salida (respecto al cobalto de las Ernie Ball), desde el primer momento me gustó el sonido.
Aún estoy sorprendido como puede ser que estas cuerdas me duren más que las anteriormente citadas que cuestan 3 veces mas.
Cuando cambio de cuerdas (en bajo o guitarra) siempre lo hago con la mente abierta. Es mi forma de descubrir nuevas cosas (buenas o malas) y así aprender por el camino.
A veces, la jerga comercial y grandilocuente nos atrapa y ni siquiera la cuestionamos y muchas veces no nos atrevemos a probar alternativas menos "glamourosas".
Yo estoy contento con estas cuerdas, pero seguiré probando otras marcas para seguir aprendiendo.
