Description
If you’re chasing that snappy, cutting-through-the-mix growl without sacrificing playability, HI-BEAM is DR’s answer. Built on a round core instead of the industry-standard hex core, these stainless steel roundwounds take extra time and craftsmanship to produce — and you can feel the difference the moment you dig in. They’re noticeably more flexible under the fingers than typical bright bass strings, so you get punch and clarity without that stiff, harsh edge.
What really sets HI-BEAMs apart is how long they hold their voice. Players who swap strings often still reach for these because the tone stays consistent set after set, string-to-string balance stays even, and they’re kind to your frets over the long haul — no premature wear from an overly aggressive winding.
- Construction: Round core wire with ball end
- Material: Stainless steel roundwound
- Gauges: Light — .040, .060, .080, .100
- Scale length: 37 3/4″ (also fits Short Scale 33 3/4″ and Long Scale 40 1/2″)
Whether you’re refreshing a bass that’s gone dull and lifeless or outfitting a new build, this light-gauge HI-BEAM set delivers the bright, punchy attack DR is known for while staying comfortable enough for marathon sessions. Once you’ve felt a fresh set of these against a worn-out pack, going back is hard.
