SM66 Swing Bass : BEST TWANG FOR BUCK

Been playing bass for around 50 years. Rotosound SM66 Swing bass are my go to bass string. I prefer steel round wounds to tape or flatwounds for cutting through the mix (unless I'm going for that Motown vibe). Entwistle and Squire were early influences hence my choice. I love the tone of these punchy mids and crunchy treble. I prefer the 40 -100 hybrid gauge, particularly when using a drop D tuning on the E string. They are overall good value for money with reasonable life. They can feel a little abrasive to the touch and a little harder on the fingers than some, but any regular player would take this in their stride, and fingers soon toughen up. These are the benchmark against which I judge all other bass strings. I also love DR High beams which are probably the best string I've tried, and my absolute favourite, but they are usually around 50% more expensive. So Rotosound are the best twang for buck in my book
