RotoSound is a guitar and bass string manufacturing company based in England.
[edit] History of Rotosound
Rotosound's trademark Swing Bass string set was first produced in the 1960s. John Entwistle of The Who came to the Rotosound string factory looking for an even, heavy roundwound bass string. Entwistle spent the afternoon there, trying string after string before settling on a set that would become known as Swing Bass 66.
