Rotosound has received a ringing endorsement from Geddy Lee, iconic bass player with Canadian rocksmiths RUSH, who has made a special video extolling the virtues of the manufacturer's Swing Bass strings.

"So all you bass players out there, if you use them, right on, and if you don't use them, you should consider them, because they're an amazing string.
