Versatile.
Robert F. 353 16.04.2014
From funk to walking jazz, to harmonics, to simple, grounding basslines, I'm able to get a broad range of sounds out of these strings. They're a little thin at the thin end (2x MEC dynamic correction pickups) but this can be remedied by playing closer to the middle of the string length.
They've bedded in well, and now have quite a sophisticated tone, (eq flat) with mids when required, clarity, good sustain and nice overtones, yet without too much aggression.
They still feel smooth to play, and aren't shredding my fingertips, or tiring my hands.

My only niggle is that the low B string is a little loose - at 34" scale - and I wouldn't mind trying the same set with a 115 or 120 B string.

Bass with a long scale? No problem!

I have a 35" Modulus graphite bass with the problem that many strings are not long enough to fit properly, but DR Hi Beams work perfectly. Killer tone rounds the package nicely, and I haven't looked back ever since.
