Cliff Burton is known for using Rotosound RS77LD Monel Flatwound Bass Strings (45-105), particularly evident in the tone he achieved on Metallica’s "Kill 'Em All." His classical training likely influenced his preference for flatwound strings, which he mentioned in interviews as part of his exclusive use of Rotosound products. These strings helped balance the treble-heavy sound of Kirk Hammett's guitar and the natural brightness of his Rickenbacker bass. A user-uploaded photo also shows these strings on his Rickenbacker in standard gauge.

John Deacon used flatwounds for all of his bass guitars, and Rotosound was his number one choice! Rotosound being one of the top string companies at the time in England, many artist used these strings.

Because his playing style was either hard finger picking or normal plectrum picking, he decided to use heavy guage strings to accomidate.

LoMenzo's gear page reads:

"No Roto's, no show!!! I haven't played or recorded with any other string since 1974, that's a fact! I started out on their "Flat Wounds" then moved on to the standard "Swing Bass" stainless steels. Since the late 1980's, I've been using the "Billy Sheehan" signature set (see a pattern here?). They feel more balanced in my hands and that heavier E string really takes the hall!"
