What is the winding material of the Rotosound RB 40 bass strings, and how does it affect tonal brightness compared to Rotosound's Swing Bass 66 series?

The Rotosound RB 40 bass strings use nickel-plated steel as their winding material. Compared to the Rotosound Swing Bass 66 series, which features stainless steel windings, the RB 40 strings offer a slightly warmer and less bright tone. The Swing Bass 66 stainless steel strings provide a brighter, more cutting sound, while the RB 40s have a softer, smoother feel and a more rounded tonal character.

Are the Rotosound RB 40 bass strings compatible with a 34” scale bass or are they specifically designed for short or medium scale instruments?

Yes, the Rotosound RB 40 bass strings are compatible with 34” scale basses. They are designed for standard long-scale instruments, so you can use them on your 34” scale bass without any issues.
