string set electric bass stainless steel 43-110 Billy Sheehan, custom gauge
Billy’s custom signature set using his preferred 43-110 gauges.

These strings, custom gauged by Billy Sheehan, provide the time tested, world famous, Rotosound Swing Bass set with two special advantages.

Billy says:

A slightly lighter ‘G’ (0.043?) this provides a more even string to string tension across the neck and makes bending easier.

A heavier ‘E’ string (0.110?) which again provides a more even string to string tension,eliminating string ‘flap’ or ‘rattle’ and makes for a tighter low end with increased mass for more volume in the lower register.

The (0.110?) gauge also facilitates tuning down to a low ‘D’ without the string bottoming out or loss of intonation.

These Billy Sheehan bass strings are manufactured from Stainless Steel wrap wire with hexagon cores

043-065-080-110 long scale

The most popular Roundwound bass string ever. Rotosound was the first string company to produce this kind of string. Introduced in 1962 it changed the sound of the instrument instantly. The favourite string of many players including Billy Sheehan, John Paul Jones and Geddy Lee. The steel used to produce these strings is unique, combined with a highly secretive manufacturing process.
