Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
RS88EL Tru Bass is an extra-long .065–.115 bass set built with flatwound black nylon ribbon. Its design targets the mellow character of an upright bass from an electric bass, making it a focused choice when that softer, double-bass-like direction is central to the part. The set was originally conceived by James How for the Burns Black Bison bass and was patented in 1962.
