    • 5th string Wire Broke Upon Install
Like a few others have said, my 5th string was much too long for my 34" bass. After cutting, the string came apart immediately when installing. Contacted vendor to see if they will replace just the 5th string; will update accordingly.

    • Great Strings on the Right Bass
I've been through TONS of strings of all types over the past 5 years. Clueless me has finally realized that matching a set of strings to a bass is like trying to find the right clothes with the right fit. I did settle on DR Highbeams and still have them on my Sterling MM 5 string because they sound AWESOME but they sounded meh on my Squire VM jazz 5 string, VM P bass 5 string and others. I decided to try the FATBEAMS on a Squier 5 string active jazz that I picked up for cheap that had crap rounds on it. The whole personality of the bass changed. It was now warm and punchy with a clear top end. The bass that I thought I was going to sell I will now never sell. I did try FATBEAMS on my VM Jazz and a 2007 MM3 OLP 5 string and they were just OK. Like clothes, I guess, you have to try several different things to see what works. DR FATBEAMS should be one in that mix. ... show more

    • These are the best bass strings, period
For that harmonically rich roundwound bass string tone, these can't be beat, and that "brand-new" brilliance lasts much longer than most!

    • Buy them and you will love them.
I love these strings. They have a great feel and the tones are bright. Great value for the money. Thanks.

    • Slappers Dream
Threw these strings on a Marcus Miller Sire P7 five string bass. They have a great bright sound that isn’t harsh sounding. The slap tones are incredible.

    • Great sound
These sound and feel great. They last for two or three gigs with a good sound before needing to be cleaned. They do not mar the frets. The only downside is they stretch easily so you have to adjust tuning often.

    • 5th string insanely long
Review Image by phildc
Love the strings but the 5th string is stupidly long, meaning that the thinner part where you insert into the tuning peg is nut usable on my bass. I managed to get the string on there and by some miracle it didn't break but it looks like it could at any moment.

    • B string may break on 34" scale bass
Strings sound great, if you like DRs. Problem with almost all DR's with hex cores is their length of the B-string on a 34" scale bass: usually the speaking length of the string will feed into the tuner post, causing it to break. Generally, Fat Beams won't do that because they are on a round core, but there is still a danger of it. I'm not a fan of DR strings for this reason. If you play 4-string, this is not a concern. ... show more
