Hi-Beams LR5-40 : Great bright sounding steel strings

I like a very bright sounding bass sound and these deliver brightness without sounding harsh. When I put these on my bass sound just comes alive. If you like a bright sounding bass that cuts through the mix these are great!

I tune them up half a step to C-standard and I don't need to make any neck adjustments since they are very stretchy.

Most people say that steel strings are rough on your fingers but I would not say that about these strings. Comparing these, for instance, to Dunlop nickel strings these are very easy on your fingers.

When it comes to quality they sound very bright and nice for several weeks. Then they lose a bit of their top end but still sound very nice to me. Even after several months of use they still sound great but they don't have that high end brightness that the new ones do.
