DR Strings 45-125 MR5-45 Hi-Beam™ Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Strings Round Wound
DR Strings MR5-45 Hi-Beam™ Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Strings – The Bright, Punchy Choice for the Modern Bassist
DR Strings' Hi-Beam™ MR5-45 set redefines expectations for 5-string bass. These strings are round wound and constructed on a round core—a rare and meticulous process that requires significantly more time and care to manufacture than standard strings. The extra effort results in a string that is highly flexible and musically bright, but not harsh.
The stainless steel wrap wire delivers a powerful, bright and punchy tone that cuts through any mix with clarity. The round core construction provides exceptional flexibility and a smooth, responsive feel under your fingers. Players consistently praise Hi-Beams for their durability, unusually long life, consistency, and string-to-string balance. They are also designed to be fret-friendly, helping to reduce wear on your instrument.
