Rotosound RS77LD Jazz Bass Monel Flat Wound Strings

The Rotosound RS77LD Jazz Bass Monel Flat Wound Strings have been handcrafted with pride for over 50 years using the highest quality materials and a proprietary process. The Monel 400 alloy tape wound on a hex core produces a smooth feel and rich, vintage tone favored by famous bassists on countless iconic albums.

Legendary Flatwound Strings Made of Monel

The Monel 400 alloy tape used in these flatwound strings provides a warm, punchy tone with excellent sustain and clarity. Monel contains five times more nickel than stainless steel, resulting in a fuller midrange and more prominent fundamentals. Combined with the flatwound construction, these strings produce a smooth feel and thumpy tone perfect for any genre from jazz to rock.

Secretive Manufacturing Process for Unmatched Longevity

Rotosound has been handcrafting bass strings for over 50 years using a proprietary process to create unparalleled sound quality and longevity. The RS77LD Jazz Bass Monel Flat Wound Strings are still made using equipment from the 1960s and high-quality materials to achieve a vintage tone modern strings can't replicate. These flatwounds can last for years when properly cared for, providing consistent tone and performance gig after gig.

Standard Gauge for Easy Transition from Roundwounds

With a standard 45-105 gauge, these flatwound strings provide a familiar feel for bassists transitioning from roundwound strings. The lighter gauge on the E and A strings makes it easy to switch between string types, while the heavier D and G strings still provide a solid fundamental. This balanced set works well for most playing styles and music genres.

Included Gig Bag for Protection and Portability

A recycled nylon gig bag is included to properly protect your investment during transport and storage. Padded handles make it comfortable to carry, while a durable shell and zippered pockets keep the strings safe from damage. The environmentally-friendly materials help reduce waste for a more sustainable product.
