DR Strings BKB45 Black Beauties Electric Bass Strings (Medium, 45-105)
Premium coated strings in Black. Round-wound.
"Cool strings with sound that lasts."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:C'mon, black strings! How cool is that?
Quality:
I've been playing with various strings for over 15 years. These do not break any more often than any other decent string.
Value:
Great strings. They sound for a month (or more) as good as an uncoated string sounds for a week.
Desirability:
Still using them.
Sound:
I think Elixirs sound a little better, but the difference is almost negligible. I've tried most all the major brands of strings. Thomastic Infeld are the best I've played with but they're even more expensive and don't last as long as a coated string.
Ease of Use:
They feel a little different. If you use fingers instead of a pick you might want to use some sort of string lube when they're brand new. But, because of the coating, I don't worry as much about keeping them clean.
Support:
No need.
Overall:
Just try 'em.
"Really good solid strings"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:I love the colored strings. It's easier to meet girls now.
Quality:
This is where the DR strings shine. They are reliable from set to set and they will get you through those last few gigs in Japan sounding good and in tune. Opposite of RotoSound.
Value:
I bring and keep a couple spare sets, but I have never had a DR string break on the gig or off. A few bucks more for a superior long-lived product is what capitalism is all about. Put me on that train.
Desirability:
All the girls ask why my strings are red.
Sound:
The DR coated strings sound great, and they last a long time. Other brands "10" sound good for a couple gigs and are afterwords worthless.
Ease of Use:
Just like any other strings
Overall:
Been playing for 42 years and counting, with DR's for six years now. I'll give 'em up with my guns.
DR BKB45 Bass Strings Customer Review
Feature:
not only are the black strings for bass which when used in conjunction with a transparent red flame top warwick with black hardware looks wicked. but these strings are coated, they last longer then regular strings, they have an excellent tone, kinda fat with enough punch to knock out danzig lol. they pop and slap great. i'v ehad the same set on my bass for 3 months now. big huge fan - LBX bassist Third Vision. www.myspace.com/thirdvision
Value:
definatly worth whatever you pay for them

great tone.

I've already given up on these horrible strings.
