dclaassen Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I put a light gauge set of DR Black Beauties on the BBNE2 tonight. Impressive, balanced sound with a tight low B. I can see where some folks might find these grippy, but It’s not a problem for me. Plus, black strings on a black bass, ebony board, and gold hardware looks pretty slick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Yeah, they look equally at home on my Epiphone Blackbird, which has a dark RW 'board, but is otherwise nearly completely black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It does indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclaassen Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Thanks! Sounds pretty nice as well. It’s not as nuanced as the MPV but has the brute force to keep up a loud drummer… Edited August 25, 2023 by dclaassen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Brute force? Yep. Got that covered. There are some Black Beauties on it, but you have to look quite hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Had them on since about May, but they've not seen a huge amount of playing time. Sounds really good now I've got the pickups "right". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
