The most popular Roundwound bass string ever. Rotosound was the first string company to produce this kind of string. Introduced in 1962 it changed the sound of the instrument instantly. The favourite string of many players including Billy Sheehan, John Paul Jones and Geddy Lee. Available in all popular gauges and scale lengths. The steel used to produce these strings is unique, combined with a highly secretive manufacturing process.

I have a semi-hollow bass with trapeze style tailpiece that needs extremely long strings to set up properly. It requires a ball end to silk/taper measurement of 38.75". This is as problem as "extra long scale" is a different measurement for each string manufacturer, with several notable brands being too short. Rotosound gives measurement on their website for extra long scale as 39". Upon stringing my bass with these they're actually slightly longer than 39" by about 1/4", which is perfect for my application. Very happy.
