I gave up on Rotosound strings decades ago. I buy my strings now from http://www.newtonestrings.com/ Speak with Neil, he will make you whatever you want. I approached him when I couldn't get a set of strings for my 8-string Buzzard. I specified a custom set of 8 strings, roundwound, roundcore, platinum finish stainless strings and I haven't looked back and I now have Newtone strings on a lot of my basses. He will even make custom string lengths if you provide him with the overall string lengths for your bass - which saves cutting strings on non-headless basses. Just remember to calculate the amount of string you need to wind round the headstock into the overall length! Any questions - PM please.
