ROCKTRON7700 SET - SHORT SCALE PRESSUREWOUND™
Overview
7700 SET - SHORT SCALE PRESSUREWOUND™
If you love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise that accompanies them, look to Pressurewounds. Starting with a hex core, we slightly flatten a nickel-iron (Alloy 52™) wire as the string is wound. This gives you an incredibly articulate string that will run the gamut from motown to progressive, while keeping your finger noise to a minimum.
The rollerwinding leaves a slick feel to the strings, that is also ideal for fretless bass. Fretless players love how Pressurewounds retain that signature "mwah" tone, while going easy on their fingerboards.
Why Should You Play Pressurewounds?
- You're looking for a deep tone, complete with punch and dynamics
- You love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise
- You want a long lasting string with plenty of tonality

I love the feel of flatwounds but the sound doesn't suit my style of play so much, so I decided to try a set of these. They sound and feel like roundwounds (I actually really like the sound they produce). They do really cut down on finger noise as advertised. My complaint would be the string length. I own 3 short scale basses and these strings barely fit my shortest one (22 fret Reverend Wattplower). The black silk sits in the nut. It seems like these were made for a specific model of short scale: a 22 fret with a top load bridge. If you have anything else these are probably going to be too short.
