Chi Cheng's Strings
In numerous photographs and live performances from the 1990s and 2000s, Chi Cheng's basses are consistently seen with the distinctive red silk at both the string end and the ball end plus the yellow ball ends which where the standard in Rotosound strings for decades until they recently changed them to the UK style coloured ball ends, characteristic of Rotosound RS66LD Swing Bass 45-105 strings. This visual evidence supports the claim that Chi Cheng uses these specific strings. The image provided corroborates this observation.
