The Optima RB series is a reissue of those original flatwound strings that OPTIMA (at that time under the old brand name MAXIMA) had produced for the legendary RICKENBACKER basses.
Rickenbacker changed to another manufacturer, the strings disappeared from the market for many years. Now, finally, by popular demand, they are available again.
Bass material: round steel core with flatwound pure nickel winding.
The company with the golden touch.
Founded in 1920 in Markneukirchen/Vogtland still under the name "Maxima", OPTIMA developed into one of the best-known and best-selling string brands in Germany.
In addition to the outstanding products made of classic materials, it was a very special innovation that made the traditional German brand world famous: the 24K GOLD STRINGS.
International stars of the music and guitar scene, such as Frank Zappa, John Entwhistle, the Ramones, Earl Slick, Randy Hansen, Randy Bachmann and of course Brian May, made the fine strings an integral part of their sound.
This high-end quality, whether with gold or without, is offered by the OPTIMA brand for all areas of stringed instruments as well as for all modern plucked instruments, from classical to acoustic and electric guitars.
In addition, Optima offers a comprehensive range of strings for traditional instruments such as zither, dulcimer or Tyrolean folk harp under the brand name BERGFEE.
No matter for which instrument, OPTIMA is the optimal string.
