Made for explorers of drop tuning, this is the thicker gauge version of the roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected into what was to become the industry standard.

The bright punchy high energy sound this string offers is a big part of early rock music as we know it and brought the bass player from the back line to the front.

This set allows bass players to lower their tunings down to F# (for tuning down to B try our Drop Zone bass strings)

For the players

Inspired by the penetrating tone of legends such as John Entwistle and Chris Squire, players worldwide have strung up their bass guitars with Swing Bass 66 strings.

The distinctive sound of our roundwound Swing Bass 66 strings have been used by the bass-world’s biggest hitters such as Jaco Pastorius, Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Noel Redding, Duff McKagan, and John Paul Jones. The bright red silk ends are hard to miss!

British quality

Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Swing Bass 66 strings for consistent tone and performance in every packet.

Every Swing Bass 66 string is still hand made by highly skilled engineers on James How’s original machinery.
