DR Strings FAT-BEAM Bass Guitar Strings (FB5-130)

Excelente sonido y tienes cuerdas para rato !!!

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.

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.

For that harmonically rich roundwound bass string tone, these can't be beat, and that "brand-new" brilliance lasts much longer than most!

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.

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

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.

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.

Compré este modelo y siento que sí dan un mejor sonido para graves. Me gustan la suavidad de las cuerdas. Dan un sonido bastante bueno. Llevo como 5 años usando la marca en diferentes modelos y la verdad, no tengo queja alguna

Dr fatbeams är de bästa Stainless som finns. Bra botten och krispig topp.

Son las mejores cuerdas.

Llegaron en buen estado y tienen un excelente sonido. Me las recomendaron como regalo para un bajista de una banda de rock progresivo y le da un sonido muy profundo.

Una cuerda no corresponde al paquete, diferente color, sonido y longitud.
