DM POLISH CLOTH 6X6

The best possible care for your guitar

Our heavyweight microfiber polishing cloth is the most fantastic cloth ever
made for cleaning and buffing your instrument. We made it oversized 
Ð a luxurious 18 x 18 inches 
Ð for easy handling and a great feel.

And if you want to get into those hard to reach dirt and grime collectors 
under the strings and around the hardware, you might want to pick up our 
smaller 6 x 6 inch cloth. ItÕs perfect for just that!

Use our specially constructed microfiber polishing cloth on your guitar,
and it wonÕt just push things around. 
ItÕll lift all those nasties right from your finish, leaving a smooth, 
even lustre. Use it with our Dean Markley Guitar Polish, and not only will 
it make your guitar shine, itÕll help protect the finish, too.


               
               

Rotosound Swing Bass 66 Nickel Hybrid 40 - 100 Long Scale

A nickel-coated version of Rotosound's best-selling Swing Bass 66 strings.
This is the roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected into what was to become the industry 
standard.The bright, punchy, high-energy sound of Swing Bass 66 strings is a major part of early rock music 
history and brought the bass player from the back line to the front of the stage."

For the players
They really sound great, there’s a real organic feel to them, I’ve been to the factory where they’re hand making 
them… It’s such a part of the tone of everything I do!I’m a finger player and when my fingers grip the string the 
edges on the Rotosound’s, because they’re hand wound, grip really strongly so 
I can get a really good snap of power out of each note.”
– Billy Sheehan"

A string for everyone
With so many musicians experimenting with unique gauges and drop tunings it is hardly surprising to know that 
Swing Bass Custom Box Singles, first introduced in the ’60s, enjoy more popularity now than ever before.
With such a wide range starting from 0.025" to 0.140" in increments of 0.005" there will be a gauge to suit 
everyone’s custom set."

Great British quality
Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings 
for consistent tone and performance in every packet.
Every Swing Bass 66 string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How."

Iconic music strings
This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound 
strings in the sixties.Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are 
synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history. Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made 
strings for his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and 
famous endorsees such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started 
a long partnership with James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry 
standard. Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis 
to Guthrie Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation."
