Description
Swap in a set of Fat-Beams and you’ll notice it before you even hit a note – that stiff, springy feel under your fingers is the compression winding doing its job. DR builds these on round cores using premium American stainless steel, which is exactly why they deliver that fat midrange punch paired with highs that cut through a mix instead of getting buried in it.
Every set is hand-wound, not machine-churned out. DR’s string-makers ride the winding process in real time, making the tiny adjustments that keep tension even and tone consistent set after set. If you’ve ever pulled a bass string off the shelf and felt like it just wasn’t right, this is the difference that hands-on craftsmanship makes.
- Scale Length: 37 3/4″
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Round core wire with ball end
- Gauges: Medium (45, 65, 85, 105)
Stainless means these will hold their brightness longer than nickel, so you’re not chasing that dead, thuddy tone as fast. For anyone who treats string changes like routine maintenance rather than an occasional chore, Fat-Beams are worth keeping stocked – the edge in tone and the snap in feel are immediately obvious the moment you restring.
