Rotosound Tru Bass 88 Black Nylon Flatwound Standard 5 String 65-135 RS885LD
Manufacturers Part Number: RS885LD

The Tru Bass 88 string that was specifically designed by James How for Jim Burns’s famous Black Bison in 1962, and it emulates the upright bass sound and the nearest you will ever get to a double bass that can be played as an electric bass. As used on Lou Reed's Transformer album, David Bowie's Diamond Dogs and the Beatles Abbey Road to name but a few.

The magnetic stainless steel undercovers that sit below the special black nylon tape ensures the best of both worlds by having a bass that is comfortable to handle, that will work with a conventional amplifier and yet offer a sound so reminiscent of its much larger brother.
