Description
This is a rare Vintage Hot Rod '60s Precision Bass. Classic '60s vibe with modern power and versatility. It’s got that authentic vintage design we all love, plus some hot-rodded upgrades like a compound-radius fingerboard and the super flexible "P/J" pickup setup. Whether you’re...
Technically there's an older DR Strings club but at the time of this post, the OP last logged in in 2010 and the last post there was in 2014.
So, let's start up another one! There's all kinds of brand fan clubs for the instruments themselves. Strings are such an integral part of our sound and...
I have been trying new strings again and knew Jeff Berlin uses these on his bass. I am quite impressed with them in standard tuning 100-40 w/130 B. They are more taught than any DR string which is good, some DR sets are to noodly for me. That being said they have that DR feel in a more taught...
Hey y'all, I recently bought a vintage bass, but after looking at the condition of the frets and thinking about the actual practicality, I unfortunately had to return it.
Instead I got a beautiful Absynthe Frost Jackson Concert Bass. It's basically half of a PJ bass mixed with a Ric. I've...
Hi Bass Lovers,
I recently purchased the remaining sets of brand new 4-string nickel-plated round core roundwound DR Sunbeams electric bass strings which are evidently the only ones left from a custom ordered heavier batch. Their custom gauge is 50 - 70 - 90 - 110. I have four of these brand...

Went to put some new 45-105 Sunbeams on my 34” scale aluminum bass & this happened.
Looks like the machine stopped winding it around the second fret (this is a photo of the string up to tension):
I thought maybe it was because it’s a thru body bridge but I just finished installed a set of...
So I have similar string changing "syndrome" as @michael_t. He admitted to it sometime ago and I'm doing it now.
Anyway, I'm still loving my only bass, Lakland USA 44-60 Jazz bass, but I am chasing the sound on it. I mean, the bass sounds and feels really good but I'm just trying to squeeze...
Hey guys,
So I just purchased a Dingwall D-roc Standard 5 from a fellow TBer, I tend to like using DR strings on my basses, not for any particular reason, a set of HI beams were the first strings I ever bought back when I had my first bass and I've never had a reason not to like...
Talkbass crashed just as I hopped in the car on my way to pick this baby up for a little over $300 CAD plus a drive to the city.
but today she truly came home to me. CanadaPost dropped off 5 DR Legend Flatwounds, which she now proudly adorns.
I spent a little elbow grease and some 0000...
Red Devils vs Black Beauties? Not just the looks but the durability and feel ;)

Been figuring out what works on my latest Spector acquisition so the ones that didn't vibe are up for sale. All were purchased new and have maybe an hour of play time total, never gigged, still zingy. Cut for 35" scale Spector Rebop 3+2. No Covid house, individual pricing includes shipping to...

Hi All,
After trying several string types over the last few years I've come to the conclusion that what most suits my style and preferences are DR Sunbeams (45-125). I play them on my 5-string Fender Victor Bailey jazz bass.
I play mostly funk, soul, hip-hop and afro-beat and jazz.
What I'm...

Hi Guys,
I want to change my strings but I would like to have your feedbacks first.
Right now, I plan to buy those strings.
What do you think? Which strings do you use and why?
Thanks for your help. :)
Just got this beautiful bass a few days ago and I’m looking forward to some great times! I’ve changed the strings to DR Black Beauties. I’ve used it at church already and have been jamming at home, so far I love it! This is my first 5 string bass. If anyone has one please let me know what you...

I have broken 3 out of my 5 DR strings now (all popped right at the tuning peg), so I am looking for answers.

So, I may be...
Playing bass has slowly been going down on my priority list over the past few months, I even took a year off without playing until about September-ish 2016, but going through different types of strings online has suddenly awoken my addiction to low frequencies again. I use an Ibanez SR605 and...
I recently went on a mission to try every one of DR's round core strings. The round cores have the perfect combination of flexibility, sustain, punch, and purity of tone for me. Having settled on my favorite I have 5 sets for sale (one of each variety). All of these were cut for a Fender 4...
