SEMIR OZERKAN - NEVERMORE
"DR strings have always been more than just bass strings to me. The vibration, the touch and energy that you put your fingers on creates a sound that comes from inside a musician. Since 2007 I have used countless DR string models. My first love was pure blues because of the GOAT Victor Wooden. Secondly my black beauty era without any explanation has an in-measurable style that compared to none. Third, my stainless steel high beam era helped me to create a tone of my own. To this day I play my bass acoustically because I love the tone these strings produce on bass especially when you are in slappy slap slap mode."

Black Beauties™ color coated bass strings combine the musical benefits of a round core design with the protection of DR’s proprietary K3™ coating. Formulated in Jet Black, the coating has a sleek and sophisticated look, while also providing extra-long life to your strings. A round core wire and stainless-steel wrap give Black Beauties full tone and balanced harmonic response, along with the playability that is one of DR’s signatures.
