STAINLESS STEEL BASS STRINGS

MR-45 package
HI-BEAM™ stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed on 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 and musically but not harshly bright. They are renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency and string-to-string balance. They don’t eat your frets. ​Hi-Beams are the string to choose for brightness, punch and ease of playing. Hi-Beam bass strings require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings.

BRIGHT. PUNCHY. EFFORTLESSLY PLAYABLE.

Round-core construction keeps tension supple and response quick, so your bass feels more fluid under the fingers. It’s a slower, more involved way to build strings — but the payoff in feel and tone is worth it. Every HI-BEAM set is hand-wound for a consistent feel and balanced output across the neck, no dead spots, no uneven tension. HI-BEAMs keep their lively tone and smooth feel long after most strings fade, standing up to hours of practice and performance. Stainless steel windings deliver a crisp, lively edge while keeping every note full and round — never harsh or thin. Whether it’s Stanley Clarke shaping modern jazz or Muse, Bruno Mars, and Killswitch Engage commanding arenas, Hi-Beams provide the power, clarity, and endurance pros demand.
