Description
DR’s Hi-Beam bass strings take a different path than typical round wounds: they’re built on a round core rather than the industry-standard hex core, a construction method that demands significantly more time and care to produce. The payoff is a string that delivers vivid brightness and punch without ever turning harsh or brittle in your hands.
- Round wound stainless steel construction over a round core wire
- Ball end design
- Gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105 (Medium)
Players reach for Hi-Beams when they want clarity and snap paired with genuine playing comfort – the round core gives these strings a flexibility that hex-core sets can’t match, easing the strain on your fretting hand while still projecting with authority. DR also engineered them for the long haul: expect strong string-to-string balance, resistance to going dull, and a lifespan that outlasts many competing sets, all while treating your frets gently rather than grinding them down.
This MR-45 set covers standard 4-string bass scale lengths – 37 3/4″ scale, plus compatibility with 33 3/4″ short scale and 40 1/2″ long scale instruments – making it a versatile pick whether you’re restringing a workhorse bass or outfitting a backup.
If your tone needs to cut through a mix with clarity while staying comfortable enough for long sets, this medium-gauge Hi-Beam set is worth a spot on your bass and in your gig bag.
