Rotosound Strings Used By Pendulum
Wednesday 12th of May 2010
Rotosound are delighted to announce that bassist Gareth McGrillen and guitarist Peredur ap Gwynedd of the high octane phenomenon that is Pendulum are the latest to join their prestigious endorsee list.
Pendulum are renowned for presenting their dance sound with heaps of rock attitude combined with loads of electronic influences. They make successful music which defies categorization challenging every rule in the music production book.
The Pendulum sound mixes Synths, MCs and drums with conventional guitars. Gareth McGrillien, bass player and founder member of the band uses Nexus coated and Swing Bass strings. Rotosound launched the innovative Nexus strings in 2009 after extensive research to develop a special black polymer coating helping to prevent contamination and corrosion, significantly extending the life of the strings. Their Swing Bass strings were launched in 1962 and remain one of the most popular bass strings ever being used by many of the greatest bass players from Paul McCartney to John Paul Jones.
Peredur ap Gwynedd uses Rotosound British Steels 10's and 11's. Their British Steels range was re-launched last year and is based on the Original classic Rotosound Stainless Steel Electric Guitar Strings from the 1960's. Their original stainless steel strings already have a pedigree second to none and were used by Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend, Brian May and many others.
Pendulum release their new album Immersion in May 2010 and will tour the UK and Ireland to support it.
