Sounds Like Steel, Feels Like Nickel

The first time we slapped a set of DR Pure Blues Quantum-nickel strings on a bass here at Sweetwater, we couldn't get over their phenomenal sound and feel. Not only did these handmade strings feel like they were made out of velvet, they delivered a fat, warm punch that, although it had a bit of edge to it, avoided any trace of harshness. It doesn't matter if you play with a pick or with your fingers, use passive or active pickups, or like to slap and pop - these strings sound amazing! Hand-wound on round cores for increased flexibility, DR Pure Blues Quantum-nickel bass strings will drench your playing in the expressive top end, sleek, scooped upper mids, and firm, round bottom you've been craving.

DR PURE BLUES BASS STRINGS QUANTUM- NICKEL/ ROUND CORE .045- ..125

OK. DONT WANT TO CONFUSE YOU. I CHANGHED MY CORT CURBOW 4 STRING FROM E STANDERD TO B STANDERD 34IN.SCALE. I AM USED TO MULTI SCALE BASSES. I HAVE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WITH SEVERAL BASSES. IT TAKES A LITTLE FILING AT BALL END OF BRIDGE.AFTER STRINGS ARE TUNED AND SETTLED IN THEY SOUND GREAT. ALSO TUNES DOWN LOWER WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE USED DR FOR YEARS OFF AND ON. THEY ARE GREAT STRINGS. ROCK ON. L.A. L.A. RIOTZ BAND. EAGLEVILLE TN. THANKS SWEETWATER.

Music background: Play bass mostly gospel
Rated 5/5

Killer

Different guitars and different ears like different sounds. DR has been my go to string for decades. My last guitar loved their stainless strings. I bought a new Ibanez 5 from Sweetwater last year and the combination of that guitar and these strings is simply amazing. I play variety, everything except hard metal or hip hop and these strings can cover everything from smooth country to pop and slap funk to crisp blues, jazz and regular rock. These are my one and only for my Ibanez.
Music background: Only 40+ years live giging. But still everyone looks for a different sound.
Rated 5/5
