Rotosound nickel on steel strings

Post by Highway Star »

Just wondering if anyone has tried these on their Ric bass, and how they sound compared to the stainless. I have the stainless steel swing bass 66 strings on mine now. I like the sound, but I do like the feel of nickel strings a little better. These are labeled as "bright", which I like, as compared to the blue pack which is labelled as "warm".

I have tried the RB40 gauge set on my 2011 4003.

They seem to be bright, just not as 'clangy' as the stainless steel sets.
