ENDORSEMENTS
Jay is proud to be Endorsed by British string makers 'Rotosound', German guitar makers 'Hofner' and by America effects pedal company 'Cusack Music'.
Rotosound was started in the late 1950s by James How, a musician and engineer by trade. How started manufacturing music strings for many famous artists across the world. As of 2022 It was still a family-run business, making all Rotosound strings in England.
Rotosound's most famous string set, the RS66 Swing Bass, was first produced in 1966. John Entwistle of The Who came to the Rotosound factory looking for an even-sounding, heavy, roundwound bass string. Entwistle spent the afternoon there, trying string after string before settling on a set that would become known as Swing Bass 66. A fake jingle for Rotosound can be heard on The Who's album The Who Sell Out, immediately preceding "I Can See for Miles".
