Description
If your bass strings have gone dull and lifeless, SUNBEAM from DR is the fix. This 5-string set (45, 65, 85, 105, 125) is nickel-plated over a round core, giving you that classic DR balance: punchy low end, growl in the mids, and a top that stays articulate instead of getting muddy over time.
- Gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105, 125
- Nickel-plated round wound construction
- Hand-made by DR Strings since 1989
What sets DR apart is the process — every set is hand wound, not mass-produced on autopilot. That old-school craftsmanship, paired with modern materials, is why players keep coming back to SUNBEAM instead of settling for whatever’s on the shelf. Fresh out of the pack, they feel slick under the fingers and respond fast, letting your attack and dynamics come through clearly whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or laying into a pick.
Strings are consumables — the difference between a set that’s a few weeks old and a fresh SUNBEAM set is night and day in tone, sustain, and playability. Keep a spare set in your gig bag so you’re never stuck with a dead-sounding bass before a session or show. Grab a set (or a few) from StringRush and hear what a proper string change actually does.
