dudewheresmybass Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Aren't they the solo bass ones? I had a set on a bass I bought a couple of years ago They did sound and feel different to the swing bass set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1333725467' post='1605790'] they are impregnated with acid. lick them, you'll see [/quote] Standard red ones already turn my fingers red an flakey, think it must be some sort of oil because I'm fine with other steels and nickels. Aware you mean the other acid. They aren't the squashed wining ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 When did Rotosound stop using blue wraps? IME Rotosound strings only sound good when brand new off the production line, and just sitting in their packets they will eventually go off. When I was still using them I made a point of only buying them at Trade shows from the Rotosound stand as they would be more likely to be good. Buying from a shop you never knew how long they'd been sat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Much like Fender P's, then, eh..? Freshly logged or nothing, none of that mouldy stuff that's been lying around in uncle's attics. Mullard valves are the same; they just don't keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
