Description

Red Devils bass guitar strings with K3 Technology. The K3 coating is the first coating that players report, "sound as good or better than uncoated strings." DR's remarkable and proprietary K3 Technology coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings. Players tell us that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation than standard, uncoated strings. Yet, they provide the same protection due to corrosion and perspiration as well as increased tone life that coated strings are known for. From the Manufacturer RED DEVILS™ Red Colored Bass Strings aren’t for the timid. With round core wires and silver-plated nickel-plated steel wrap wires, their loud and aggressive sound compliments their vibrant color. All strings in the set are coated with a red-colored version of DR’s proprietary K3™ coating, which delivers longevity, more projection, fewer unwanted overtones, and outstanding clarity and articulation.

Different and Great
Size: 30-125
They not as bright as regular strings, but that extra brightness was noise. It makes for a more articulate sounding string. My fretless bass plays differently now. The texture has smoothed out and it is incredibly easy to slide. Playing is almost effortless. The tone is better and the instrument is more responsive. The slap tone is much better because the handling noise is greatly reduced. The loud click when hitting the strings is almost eliminated. This allows me to use more of the bridge pick up if I want to while slapping, since the handling noise is greatly reduced. I use five string basses and like the old funk gauges of 30 50 70 90, so I take a six string set and use the 30 - 105 strings as BEADG. It works great. It is not for those using heavy picks. However, the tone is better, the instrument is far more responsive, and the dynamic range is greatly expanded. As I mentioned before, the fretless bass (Carvin LB75F wide neck) plays almost effortlessly. I really hate to play anything else and have ordered DR K3 coated strings for the rest of my instruments. (5 string Jazz Bass, Tele, Tele Baritone) Strings one and two are dead. They are like strings after several months of heavy use. They are dull with little top end. Amazon is doing an exchange and I will see if the replacements are better. DR is also quite responsive to inquiries and was also willing to take care of the issue. Amazon already was sending the replacements. ... show more

WOW Great sound Even cooler color!
Size: 45-125
I just got these strings on my bass and i have to say there freaking amazing! I didn't expect to get such a great tone from what many would think are gimmick strings, but these sound good, they look cool and they, to me personally, are cheaper and better than the Elixirs I normally use! There Extra life and your fingers really seem to be able to move while using these! If you play bass I would defiantly say get a set of these and try them out ... show more

They Are Not Long Enough!
Size: 30-125
I ordered some red devils that came in today for my 35" scale 6 string bass only to find out after pulling the B string through and clipping the end, that the thick wound part of the string was about 1cm short of the nut when I tightened it down. They are beautiful looking strings, I only wish they fit! The short scale length should be included in the description. Found out you can contact DR directly and they will give you whatever length you want. Using a set of orange ones on my "Molly Malone"(Irish Flag Colors) bass,Strings look like heating elements glowing on the Hi setting. Still sound great. Friction on the strings seems to be increased a bit with the coating but when my hands have sweat dripping off them on stage or at a very humid outdoor event this is a good thing. ... show more

Red and Shred!
Size: 45-125
I Bought these for some eyeball and esthetics, but these strings really keep true to DR tone. On my 5 string Honer bass guitar, These bad boys bring the goods! Plus my wife likes the color. I will definite buy these again in the future. Living in a hot and humid climate, things rust over pretty quickly. But after a month in the ambient tropical air, the coat maintains the integrity of the strings. Kudos to DR for a brilliant product. ... show more
