Features

The Jazz Bass 77 design delivers the smooth feel and controlled surface response players expect from flatwound bass strings. Compared with brighter roundwound sets, these strings offer a deeper, warmer voice while still retaining enough clarity for defined lines, melodic playing and supportive low-end work.

Monel construction gives these strings their distinctive tone and feel. Rotosound describes Monel as a nickel and copper alloy that contributes strong tone and corrosion resistance, helping the set produce a warm sound with a durable, reliable playing response.

This 5-string long scale set uses gauges 45, 65, 85, 105 and 130, giving players a familiar standard-gauge feel with an extended low B string. The 940 mm ball-end-to-taper length makes the set suitable for compatible long scale basses.

Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 strings are manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and are still associated with traditional production methods. Their distinctive sound and red silk ends have been connected with notable bassists including Roger Waters, Phil Lynott, Sting, John Deacon, Dee Murray and Glen Matlock.
