Hi All,
Does anyone know what strings Alan used on his Mustang Bass?
I remember when he passed away, Rotosound put up a FB post saying he was a Rotosound player, but they didn't go in to specifics as to which bass or basses.
Cheers

I found out that he used Rotosound bass strings. I'm not 100% sure which exact ones, but my guess is possibly the RS66S Short Scale Swing Bass strings (roundwound) live and the RS77S Jazz Bass strings (flatwound) in the studio.

Do they make a different noise? Sorry I am clueless as to whether they do or not etc
