Well... actually those strings were already used when i strung (is that right?) them on my bass. Dunno whether it makes a difference or not....

Do you mean there where rotosounds on your bass when you bought it, or do you mean you used a set of rotosound strings which where used before?

Anyway. Strings tension will more than likely be the same on a used pair of strings than on a new pair. And a neck which was able to handle rotosounds in the past without problems will likely be able to do so in the future.

That sounds cool! Those strings were already used, but I cleaned them. I had them on my T-bird. So there will be no risk for me to string the neck with fresh RotoSounds?

If you are changing to another set of the very same Rotosound Swing Bass 45-105 strings, there shouldn't be a problem. Just change the strings one at a time. Bring each that you change string to pitch before changing the next one.

I did as you recommended and it works fine! Oh I love the sound of new RotoSounds! It is so clear and bright! Hmm! Action and tension are still the same!
