    Calling all DR Stainless Steel/Lakland 55-02 users

    Lakland 55-02 and Stainless Steel string(s) "dilemma" As of right now, (to ME) the best sounding SS string is the GHS Super Steels; the problem is that they're a little hard to come by for (55-02) 5 string Basses (which requires a longer scale string); So, I'm considering trying a set of DR SS...

    Growly deep bass tone

    To start off, I've been playing for a little over 6 months and don't know very much about how to make my playing really sound good. I play a lot of funk rock like RHCP and really anything with a heavy bassline. I'm looking for a sort of throaty and deep growly bass tone, similar to that of Daft...

    DR Fat Beams on a Jazz Bass

    I just strung up my g&l jb2 with a fresh set of Fat Beams and I'm so stoked about the tone. I tried Dunlop Super Brights and I really didn't like them much. Went back to the old and trusted Fat Beams and BAM! I love that fat, punchy jazz bass tone. Here is a video I made: You can check...

    NDD! Fat Beams and Super Brights!

    in my search for the perfect round wound strings for me I was recommended to try the Fat Beams with my G&L Basses and I did last week a liked them. So in researching the Fat Beams here in the string forum it was suggested that I try the Dunlop’s. So I ordered more of each and will be restring...

    NYXL vs. Fat Beams

    I've been a die hard stainless guy for years. Recently, I've been dabbling with nickel strings a bit more having strung basses with Dunlop Super Bright Nickels, Pure Blues, Pedulla Nickel, and recently acquiring another Sire which come with D'Addario XL's. I really like the Pure Blues and the...

    DR Fat Beams

    I recently strung up my g&l jb2 with a set of DR Fat Beams (45-105). I was using High Beams for a while before that and wanted to try something new. So far I really don't like these strings. The tension is greater and I don't love the feel of them on my fingers. They seem pretty stiff...

    DR Marcus Miller Fat Beams

    Threw a set on my P bass the other day. A little grabby at first but that's going away. Otherwise they have a nice medium tension and sound great. I find these to be very good in the mids with a lot of growl. They deliver a lot of punch and definition. I'm thinking once they settle down a bit...

    Detuning alternative to Fat Beams

    My main bass is an ash/maple G&L M-2000 with FatBeams. I love, love the sound, feel, tension, everything about the setup. I just started playing with a new band that tunes down a half-step. While that isn't much, it's enough that the feel of the strings goes from the low tension that I'm used to...

    Fat Beams questions.

    I'm really digging the tone from reviews I've watched and want to give them a run but I'm scared of reading a bunch of reviews saying about "low tension". I'd like to use a med/light set but I still have the factory nut on my J bass and it's slotted for a medium gauge set (45/65/85/105 vs ...
