Hi-Beam Stainless Steel Bass Strings are round wound and constructed upon a round core which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care, and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible, musically bright without harshness, and they're renowned for unusually long life, consistency, and string-to-string balance. They don't eat your frets. Choose them for brightness and ease of playing. They fit virtually all bass scale lengths up to 37-3/4".

DR Hi-beam 4 string mediums

Posted by Georgie from Alaska on Jun 12, 2009

Reviewer's Play Style: Everything

After using GHS Super Steels for years, I tried DRs when I couldn't find my GHS supers. WOW. I go for piano-string tone (love that ringing twang) and I never thought I'd find a string equal to the Super Steels. Plus, the DRs are easier on my fingers, and they last longer too! It's been 18 years now with the DRs and they're all I use... on all 17 of my 4,5,and 6-string basses.

I have played them all and when a friend told me you have to try these strings trust me I said ok. Well for starters I've been playing 25yrs and have played them all. These strings are brilliant! Pucnhy, they growl and they also can be toned down for a nice warm sound. They feel different than any other string I've played. I simply love these strings.

Strings that actually stay bright.

I actually converted most of the guitarists I've worked with over the years to DR's, but continued using Earnie Ball and D'Adario because of the price. Now DR strings are only a few bucks more then the others.

DR strings actually stay bright for more then a couple days, which is more then can be said for the others. The last set of Earnie Balls I put on were dead after a day.

Decent strings

These strings do not do anything for me. I tried them out and they lost all ring within two weeks. They sounded harsh and had a hard bite. The only one that sounded decent was my E-string. I replaced them with standard Fender bass strings, which made the bass magical. They also felt rough, not smooth like Fender strings do, if thats what your into.

I've used DR's since '94. They're all I'll play. No other strings give you the bright growl that Hi Beams do, period. These strings, literally, defined my sound.
