Best strings ever!
David2268 10.08.2014
These are the best strings i have ever used. Lots of Zzing when they are fresh. Still long lasting without losing the feeling, tone and comfort. I use these on all my basses, from precision, Ibanez soundgear to Warwick and they are simply the best and fits all models. I have used them for many years now and only had problem twice with these hi-beams. First time I slapped the low B string off in a serious funk-accident. Second time the string broke after installation when tuning it. Guess that time was a case of poor quality but that has only happened once in many years.

Can't imagine changing for other strings and i don't want to play other strings. Totally digging it.

Loving these.

Warwick RB5 passive.
Markbass LMIII / Warwick BC40
2x10 custom built oversize Aldred Amps cab.

Second set of DRs I've used - same as the first, but heavier gauge. They fit just right. Had them on about 4 months now, have been playing regularly but only a couple of gigs.

Took a few days to get the neck right for the tension of the strings, but now I've got sizzle, clarity, boldness - though not so much that I can't EQ the high end out for a less present sound.

Now, I'm not great when it comes to Slap. I'm learning, but still can't articulate in the same way other good players can - so I asked a few of my more skilled friends to have a go; they didn't feel the strings prevented them from 'saying' what they wanted to 'say'.

Bright sounding tone. great for recording
David4963 18.01.2015
Awesome tone, used a set of these for recording some bass. I highly recommend these - bright sounding response which helps finger style playing cut through the rest of the instruments.

Would definitely buy these again for recording sessions.

Good strings, but overpriced
DavC 07.04.2023
OK strings, but overpriced, in my opinion. I prefer the Dean Markley Blue Steel, or even the d'Addario ProSteel.
