Pretty sure DR don't make Flatwound Bass strings, and Hi-Beams have always been known for what they are.. Stainless Steel Roundwounds. That's all.

I love them and the Marcus set (Fat Beams). They are killer strings, hope you dig them!

Great! I'm interested to hear your impressions.

Any news about the item you wanted me to ship to you?

Oh yeah! My apologies mate. I realised it was going to cost a bit more than I'd liked, so I just went with a Gator case that I could get local for cheap. Sorry I didn't let you know!

Same! Can't wait to try the Fat-Beams either. I love Hi-Beams so I thought I'd give these a shot!

I love 'em. But why are the DR flats the one DR strings that have silk (yellow) wrapping at the ends?
