Wow.

That's all I can say is 'wow'. I went into my local guitar shop to buy some new strings, and I asked for DR High Beams. They were fresh out, but 'lo and behold! They had one pack of Marcus Miller 5's left. I know who Marcus is, and I know he's an incredible musician. So, I got them.

And wow.

All I could say was wow. These strings have monstrous tone that cannot be beat by any other strings. They'll clang and rattle just the right amount to give your tone that extra zing, but not enough to sound loose. These strings are simply perfect.

Wow.

These are quite simply the best strings I have ever played. Long lasting with a centered core sound that is appropriate for many styles. Great feel, tone, and longevity. Consistantly well intonated...you get the idea. Worth having the name "Marcus Miller" on them.

I've had these strings for a few months now and they're definitely worth the buy.

They are good for having rattle in your sound, if that's the way you like it. They play well in standard all the way to C and beyond. they also feel really nice to the touch.

Got these strings recently, partially influenced by the fact that Marcus Miller uses them--always loved his sound. Put them on my Original Tobias 5 String--and they're awesome! I never had much luck slapping with my Tobias with my previous strings, and the low B never sounded right. Not anymore!! The bass sounds "alive", more so than ever, and I couldn't be any happier with the strings. Highly recommended.
