Review: Great Sound! - awesome strings. great varity of sounds. execellent sustaining!
Review: DR strings are better than RotoSound and Ernie Ball - ANY DR string set is top-notch. These are the ones you want to use for Jazz Bass clones that have a stiff feel, or you have smaller hands, or a young person needing something easier to push down. Hi Beams and Low Riders are the main ones people use, but these are the lighter gauge ones. Also what you need if you are doing a lot of speed runs/position shifts, and a regular light set of 105's are still too stiff. I haven't used these yet (still haven't put them on), I normally use a .95 set, but let's see what happens. Plus they will usually outlast the bass, if you wipe them down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these fit through body on a 34” scale bass?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Are these long scale to work on a fretless P-Bass?**
A: According DR site, their strings fit up to 37'' scale.
Two versions of Sunbeam:
Scale Length: 37 3/4"
Short Scale: 33 3/4"

**Q: Do these bass strings really have low tention?**
A: Tension vs Flexibility. They have have a similar overall tension as other brands, but they seem more flexible to me, especially compared to hex core strings or Boomers.

**Q: Good for short scale bass, detuned? playing an older gibson, dropped to db, so need a string that doesn’t get too flabby. would medium gauge work?**
A: these strings are famously pliant, focused and perfect for fretless. I can't imagine you could detune them. And DR would not respond to my request to make custom Sunbeams w thicker gauges. Circle K strings are made specifically for detuning so do check them out. I have used them and they are a high quality string and their gauges are just about ANY combo you could imagine. You can get an E string thats .190 , you could probably tune it to Z. They are incredible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DR “ my favorite bass strings
*by N***N on January 6, 2025*

DR Sunbeams bass strings are exceptional for their warm, rich tone and smooth feel. The nickel wrap over a round core gives them a perfect balance of flexibility and sustain, making them ideal for both fingerstyle and slap. They’re also easy on the fingers and maintain a consistent tone for a long time.
