The Rotosound 5-String Monel Flatwound Medium Bass Strings (.045-.130) Long Scale offer a rich, warm tone with a silky smooth feel—perfect for bassists who love vintage thump without sacrificing clarity. Handcrafted in the UK, these iconic flatwounds are made with Monel, a high-quality nickel alloy that delivers a uniquely balanced sound with deep lows, punchy mids, and just the right amount of articulation.
Favoured by legendary players such as Paul McCartney, these strings are ideal for jazz, blues, and classic rock but versatile enough to handle modern styles as well. Their ultra-smooth surface reduces finger noise and extends the life of your frets, making them a fantastic choice for both studio and stage. The slightly higher tension compared to roundwounds provides exceptional sustain and definition, ensuring every note sings with character.
