bobbytodd Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 well up to now ive always used rotos or ernie ball strings on all my basses but I thought id try something different and bought a set of dr black beauties and im far from impressed.the g string sounds awful and they seem to have quite a low tension so I had to set up the bass differently.theres probberly a million bass players who love the dr strings im just not one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cant speak for the Black Beauties but I love DR Sunbeams. Perhaps you got a faulty G string ? AFAIK, Dr has a very good customer service. You could try contacting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroydiamond Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thought I had bought a dud set as when I strung up my bass the strings sounded tired and lifeless. Tried a second set and the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterfire666 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) i found them bright and zingy, just how i like em and i love the lower tension, thats the best thing about em. although iv not used em in a couple of years.

Cameronj279 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I had very mixed experiences with the dr coated strings. I used them once about 2 years ago and loved them, stayed nice and bright for a few months, looked great and felt great. fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. bought some and put them on my corvette. sounded great for the first 2 hours then instantly died and felt like a pair or Rotosounds (I.e Crap IMO). Will be sticking to elixirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
