Swing Bass 66 Extra Long Scale - Standar Gauge 45-105
This is the stainless steel roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected
into what was to become the industry standard. The bright, punchy, high-energy sound of Swing
Bass 66 strings is a major part of early rock music history and brought the bass player from
the back line to the front of the stage.
For the players
Inspired by the penetrating tone of legends such as John Entwistle and Chris Squire, players
worldwide have strung up their bass guitars with Swing Bass 66 strings.
The distinctive sound of our roundwound Swing Bass 66 strings have been used by the bass-world’s
biggest hitters such as Jaco Pastorius, Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Noel Redding, Duff McKagan, and
John Paul Jones. The bright red silk ends are hard to miss!
