ARKII CALA - ILIAD & PATRICK WITKOWSKI
"I've tried just about every brand of strings on the market for my basses, and nothing comes close to the feel, sound, and longevity of DR strings! I can get anything from smooth thump to aggressive clank from the same set, and the superior feel of the windings and round cores make them easy on the fingers for any style of playing. The Fat Beams are the perfect set for my Rickenbacker 4003s, as they accentuate the bright aggressive sound of the bass while making it a little beefier in the lows than with traditional stainless strings, and the high mid grind that typically goes away after a handful of shows with other brands' strings lasts for months and months. Also love the Sunbeams on my P Bass!"
