DR Strings Hi-Beams MR-45

Love these

My favourite bass strings for over 25 years, never broke one and love their sound a lot obviously !

Tasty Tone

Lovely sounding bass strings. They really enhance my active Jazz bass and have a nice feel to them. I'll be using these as my go to strings from now on.

They die really fast

This bass strings are amazing for the first week, but they die really quick, like 2 weeks or so, they lose that nice midrange sound they have fresh. Really disapointed by DR strings, the quality has dropped. I have swaped like 3-4 sets and all died fast. I really like the tone specialy with My Warwick Thumb bass, but if you consider the pricing of this strings you want them to live like 2 months at lest with that midrange sound, if not why not to pick other more cheap strings. DR should look at that

Bright and deep

These are my favorite strings for my 4-string bass. Lot's of bottom end, but sparkly on top, and they last.

Powerful strings

These bass strings are bright sounding when new and last a long time. On my Fender Jazz bass they can summon up a variety of exellent sounds. As bright and trebly as I need but by rolling off the tone I can get a warm clear sound when required. They feel smooth and nice on the fingers and I haven't found them to wear the frets any more quickly than my previous Daddario XLs. I'll keep buying these strings as I like them.

Not Found Better in Five Decades of Playing

Perhaps the best sounding and feeling steel roundwounds for Rock bass.

Used on all my basses for the last 5 years. A bit lower tension due to the round core, something to consider if you really dig in. Mostly played in E Standard and D# Standard tunings, both work fine. A lot of overtones in the sound, very bright when new, I prefer mine broken in for about a week. I usually swap to new ones every 2 months if I play between 1-3 hours a day.

WOW!

I was looking for the brightest-sounding strings for Shellac-like tones and I have to say these more than delivered. Pair this with a Rusty Box for instant Albini sound!

bright with enough bottom and easy on the left hand

thas how I feel them on a Vintage-brand fretless jazz (China I think). Poor rosewood board's yummy for steel wounds harder on frets or wood than nickel. You been warned. I assume the neck change on a cheap bass like mine whenever for what I get with these strings. I get great tone.

Furious!!!!!!!!!

I love these DR strings and have been using them for at least 15 years. This particular set, I bought over a year ago. Tonight I have a gig and wanted to put some fresh strings on. There are 2 x '3rd String' in the packet!!!!!!!!!!!! (and no '2nd String). I live in an area where it's not possible to just nip out and buy another set so I'm in a pickle to say the least.

I know mistakes happen but this is just poor quality control.
