Electric 5 String Bass

Hi-Beam Stainless Steel Bass Strings are round wound and constructed upon a round core. Hi-Beams are highly flexible, musically bright (not harshly bright) and renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency, and string-to string balance. They don't eat your frets. Hi-Beams are the string to choose for brightness, and ease of playing. DR H-Beams fit virtually all scale lengths up to 37 3/4".

Lo-Rider stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a hexagonal core. They provide more depth of tone, and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams. Bass players who are into slapping, popping, and tapping will love the high end and depth of Lo-Riders. The slight bit of stiffness makes Lo-Rider bass strings very accurate when playing harmonics. Great consistency, and great string-to-string balance are DR hallmarks. Fits scale lengths up to 37 3/4".

SUNBEAMS are the next generation of nickel-plated bass strings as they are wound upon round cores. SUNBEAMS feature the easily recognizable feel and flexibility of DR round core construction, with nickel warmth, softness of feel, and increased response to magnetic pickups due to the sensitive magnetic content (compared to stainless steel) of the nickel plated wrap wire. Tony Franklin says "SUNBEAMS amaze me.. I love them on my fretless.

Lo-Rider nickel-plated bass strings are based upon hexagonal cores, wound with nickel-plated steel, specitically designed for a softer feel and a traditional warm nickel sound. These bass strings are even, long lasting, and loud with a mid-range growl. An excellent string for fretless basses... "Lo-Riders Love to Funk."

It produces a distinct "crunchy tone". Bootzillas' bass strings are coated for extra protection against damaging substances such as perspiration, dirt, humidity, and "acid hands". The stainless steel is imported from Europe and provides an edgier tone than standard domestic stainless steel.
