Rotosound has produced instrument strings and accessories for more than 60 years from its family-run factory in Kent, England. Innovating the roundwound bass guitar string and igniting the sound of rock and roll, we've been at the forefront of making music since 1958.
Specifically designed and patented in 1962 to emulate the mellow sound of an upright bass using flatwound black nylon ribbon, our Tru Bass strings have been embraced by players of all styles.
Originally conceived by James How to be fitted to the Burns Black Bison bass, Tru Bass strings may be the nearest you will ever get to a double bass tone from an electric bass.
