Product studyRotosound BS66 Billy Sheehan Bass Strings

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Bassists who want the gauges from a signature setup rather than a stock set
  • Aggressive right-hand players who want defined attack
  • Someone replacing a worn set on a four-string electric bass

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who already know their preferred gauge and want a standard set
  • Acoustic or upright bass — this is for electric bass
  • Anyone needing a five- or six-string set

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Signature set

Gauges chosen around one player's rig and technique, not a neutral middle. Feel may differ from your usual set.

Detail 02

Bass strings

Sized for bass tuner posts and bridge spacing. Guitar sets will not substitute.

Detail 03

$29.95 per set

Above the price of a basic bass set. Cost per set matters most if you change strings frequently.

Detail 04

Four-string set

Covers E, A, D, G. A five-string bass needs a different set with a low B included.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your bass is long scale before ordering — winding length has to clear the nut
  2. 02A gauge change from your current set may need truss rod and intonation adjustment
  3. 03Set only. No winder, cutters, or setup tools included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will these fit my bass?

Check scale length and string count first. This is a four-string electric bass set; measure nut to saddle before ordering.

02How is this different from a standard Rotosound bass set?

It is built to Billy Sheehan's signature specification, so the gauge combination is chosen for his setup rather than as a general default.

03Do I need to adjust my bass after fitting these?

If the gauges differ from your last set, check neck relief and intonation once the strings have stretched and settled.

04Can I use these on a five-string bass?

No. There is no low B string here. You would need a dedicated five-string set.
