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.

  • Great Tone + Easy on Your Frets and Your Fingers! Great Tone + Easy on Your Frets and Your Fingers!
Style: String
I originally installed these on my semi-hollow body Gretch D6128 Thunderbass in an attempt to cut down on the string and fret noise I was getting with conventional strings. These not only reduced those issues considerably, the tone is fantastic! I have been using these on the Gretch now for over 18 months and have nothing but praise for these strings! The red color also adds a very unique look to the instrument and I am always getting compliments on the look! In addition to my D6128, I have also installed a set of these on my Candy Apple Red Fender Jaguar short scale bass with equally impressive results. The string itself is the time tested DR Sunbeam round core with the custom micro-coating applied. The same great tone you get from the Sunbeam string with the added benefit of reduced string and fret noise. I can't recommend these strings highly enough for anyone looking for a quality coated string. (Be sure to check out the photos I posted of my two guitars running Red Devils!) ... show more

After just a few days, I like the strings. Sounds decent on a Ric bass. I’ll update after a bit.

Great strings. Not noisy. If using a pick they do tend to lose color.

  • Good Sound - not super long lasting
Style: String
These sound great and the playability is good with the coating. HOWEVER, the coating will only last 50-100hrs of play before you start to see it worn off in areas (where you pick, or pluck and at the frets). Still, they aren't super expensive so... worth it for me.
