DR Strings Bass Strings Fatbeam, Marcus Miller Signature Stainless Steel Round Core 5 String Bass 45-130 Feature

  • Gauges 45-65-85-105-130 Deep, fat tone Consistantly smooth feel across all strings
Marcus Miller signature Fat Beams were designed for Marcus' exacting standards. Marcus Miller is a pioneer in electric bass who has worked with Miles Davis, served as a producer for "Night Music," developed an extensive resume as a producer in L.A., and has played on more than 200 records. Marcus Miller worked with DR to develop a new and improved version of one of the best stainless round wound bass strings on the market. The effort took over a year, and the result is a “fatter, deeper, smoother” string that satisfied Marcus Miller’s demanding standard. Fatter tone. Deeper sound, smoother feel and response are the qualities that separate Marcus Miller “Fat-Beams” from all other ordinary bass strings. New “Fat-Beams” are also more consistent in feel along the length of the string, as well as string to string. Gauges 45-65-85-105-130.

Yes, for acoustic-electric guitars with piezo pick-ups under the bridge... or magnetic pickups in the sound hole. Any amplified acoustic comes alive when you put on the ZEBRA? strings. Revolutionary because no one has ever done this before, and no one else does it yet. It is the very first string where you can see the difference. Every other coil is nickel-plated steel, every other coil is RARE? phosphor bronze... wound on hex cores. Gauges: .011; .015; .022; .030; .040; .050

While this is a slow, expensive method of string making, it does produce a string acclaimed for increased sustain, vintage tone, and great low tones for playing rhythm to lead. The extra step of winding pure nickel around a round core gives the Pure Blues? a punch that players say they are surprised to get in a vintage string. Sounds great on any vintage guitar!!

DR Strings Alexi Laiho Signature Guitar Strings - Medium Heavy Feature

  • DR Electric Guitar Strings
  • Model Number: SAL-10
String Gauges: 10-14-18-32-44-56 Alexi Laiho Electric Guitar Strings have an ultra-thin coating with similar characteristics to Dr. Strings' Dimebag Darrell High Voltage construction, nickel-plated, steel wound strings. They feature round core construction for increased sustain, more bottom, and easier bending. Also, these guitar strings are treated with a non-toxic, corrosion-resistant Long-Life treatment exclusive to Dr. Strings. Alexi Laiho is a Finnish guitarist known for being one of the fastest guitarists in the world. If you've ever seen him solo, you understand why such an icon needs guitar strings that will withstand his ridiculously hard shredding style. Alexi endorses his signature strings because "They sound big and fat and bend like no other. It's an awesome feeling when you know you can really bang the crap out of your guitar without having to worry about snapping a string no matter how crazy you are slammin' it, testing the limits with a whammy bar or gnarly bends."

DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 10-48

DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 10-48 Review



DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 10-48 Feature

  • 10-48
The RARE?  phosphor bronze acoustic strings are a departure from the standard bronze string currently available... possessing a new, different, and stronger "voice". When DR set out to produce a string with new characteristics, the goal was to redesign contemporary thinking about what phosphor bronze can do for a good acoustic guitar. Hand-carved arch-tops and dreadnaughts and good steel string acoustic guitars of rosewood, maple, and mahogany seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain with RARE?  phosphor strings. Players who want a fatter, louder sound, a deeper bottom... (who like to hear their guitars ring out..) will appreciate the RARE?  phosphor tone, sound, and feel. Gauges: .010; .014; .022; .030; .038; .048
