DR Strings PB5-45 Pure Blues™ Quantum-Nickel Bass Strings – Legendary Tone, Unsurpassed Feel
DR PURE BLUES™ bass strings combine a fat, warm punch with an edge designed for the modern player. The innovative Quantum Nickel™ wrap wire marries the warmth of pure nickel with the brightness and edge of stainless steel for a rich, tonally balanced sound. The result is a string that brings your bass alive with a full bottom, colorful mids, and bright, articulate highs.
Round Core Construction for Superior Feel
Hand-wound on round cores—a hallmark of DR's commitment to quality—these strings offer increased flexibility for a smooth feel and solid tone. This design ensures consistent contact between the wrap and core wire, delivering exceptional sustain and responsiveness. Players praise their balanced sound, noting they are neither too bright nor too warm. They offer a flexible, low-tension feel that is smooth and easy to play.
Medium 5-String Gauge
The PB5-45 Medium 5-String set delivers consistent tension and balanced output across all five strings. Gauges are .045, .065, .085, .105, and .125.
Versatile Performance for Every Style
Whether you play fingerstyle, with a pick, or slap, these strings deliver the versatility that modern bassists demand. They provide more output, more power, and more top-end presence than traditional nickel-wrapped strings, making them perfect for any genre—from funk and R&B to rock and jazz.
Handcrafted American Quality
Since 1989, DR Strings has been handcrafting premium strings in the USA. The PB5-45 set is made in the USA with only the finest American materials.
DR Strings PB5-45 Pure Blues™ – The difference is real.
