Rotosound Funkmaster 66 30 - 90 Long Scale

chart toppers Level 42."
King of funk
“I’ve been lucky enough to have been involved with Rotosound for over thirty years now, going right back to my
first Jaydee and the custom gauges that the guys made up for me, 30-50-70-90, and still do to this day, only now
with double-ball ends for my Status King basses.
“The fantastic tonal consistency of the strings has been the bedrock of my sound, and we all know that your sound
starts with the strings, right?” - Mark King"
Great British quality
Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings
for consistent tone and performance in every packet.
Every Swing Bass 66 string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How.
Iconic music strings
This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound
strings in the sixties.Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are
synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history. Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made strings
or his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and famous endorsees
such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started a long partnership with
James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry standard.
Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis to Guthrie
Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation."
