Product ReviewsRotosound SM77 Monel Flatwound Hybrid Bass Guitar Strings (40 60 80 100)

My new favorite strings.

After trying lots of different string brands over the last four decades, I decided to give RotoSound another try. I’m thrilled with the Jazz set composition, it’s well balanced and has a wonder feel. The tone is clear with frequency response similar to a round wound string yet very distinctive. The quality of these strings is fantastic; the silk wrapping on the machine head end is a nice touch that looks great on my bass. Highly recommended. Read full review...

Bright at first, mellow as they age: nice balanced tone.

The strings have a nice bright, metallic ring to them when brand-new: very Steve Harris-esque. However, judicious use of your tone knob can tame that. As they age they mellow out nicely, and give you a a rounder sound with more midrange. I vastly prefer these to Fender flatwounds. Used on many great rock records, and perfect for me.Read full review...

Great flat for something a little different flat flavor

Nice flat for something a little different than the tradition 60s thump. I like to have one bass with Roto flats for variety. They are a little more stiff and not super smooth like GHS Precision flats or the like, and are a little lower in volume, but provide a nice alternative flat flavor. Whatever gauge you normally play, might go one lighter.Read full review...

This is the tone for me

Rotosound 77 strings sound the best to me on my pbass. They are marginally brighter than other flats which I think makes them perfect. If you need a more double bass sound check out 88s they are great too.Read full review...

Rotosound Flat Wound Strings

Rotosound has the most experience with flatwound strings, and has been making them longer than anyone else. I don't buy flatwounds from anyone else. Try 'em you'll like 'em. Nuff said!
