Rotosound RS66S Swing Bass 66 Stainless Steel Short Scale 4-String 40-90

The Rotosound RS66S Swing Bass 66 Stainless Steel Short Scale Bass Strings deliver the bright, punchy and powerful tone that has made the legendary Swing Bass 66 range a favourite among bass players for decades. Manufactured in the UK, these premium stainless steel roundwound strings offer excellent tonal clarity, strong attack and plenty of growl, making them ideal for rock, pop, funk and other styles where a cutting bass sound is essential.

Developed from the original Swing Bass design perfected by James How and John Entwistle, the Rotosound RS66S carries on a string-making tradition dating back to the 1960s. Their stainless steel construction provides a bright, lively response with excellent articulation and definition, helping your bass stand out in the mix.

Designed specifically for short-scale four-string electric basses, this set features a medium 40-90 gauge configuration, offering a relatively light playing feel with a balanced response across all four strings. The distinctive red silk winding at both ends provides the recognisable Rotosound finish.
