The Rotosound FM66 is a light-gauge roundwound electric bass set with gauges 30-50-70-90 in long scale. That very light top end gives a bright, snappy tone with fast, low-tension feel under the fingers. It is the set associated with the slapping, popping funk and fusion style of Stanley Clarke and Mark King. Compared with standard-gauge bass sets, it trades some low-end weight and durability for speed and articulation, so it suits players who prize playability over thump.
