josemanuelant Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Hello I have a squier jazz bass affinity 4 string bass with rotosund rb50 and they are magnificent. I have another bass, also a squier jazz bass, but with 5 strings. I would like to know what strings you advise me for this last one? Thanks. Sorry for my bad English, I have helped myself from google translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo85 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I am not familiar with the RB so I cannot help with similar strings. However, it looks to me you can find them for 5 string as well https://rotosound.com/product/rb45-5/ I am not sure, however, whether you can find them the same size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my bad English, I have helped myself from google translator. They don't appear to do a RB50-5 set so you have two choices if you want to keep with Rotosound Rotobass. 1) Accept the slightly thinner strings of the RB45-5 set (45/65/85/105/130) 2) Buy another RB50 set (50/70/90/110) then get a separate single .130 Rotobass string (which is thickest one they do in that string - should probably be a .135 to be "correct") I'd probably just get the RB45-5 set rather than go to the trouble of getting a separate B string. It's going to feel different anyway, it's on a completely different bass. I don't really notice the .05 difference. I usually play D'addario XL 45/65/85/105 but my G&Ls came with D'addario XL 45/60/85/100 and I thought it would bug me but I really didn't notice.

josemanuelant Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Thank you all for the answers. Yes. I think that I'll buy Rotosound RB45-5, because I really like Rotosound bass strings, that's the ones I know Rotosound RB50 on my other 4 string squier bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
