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
