Dr string experts question. Dr fatbeams and sunbeams tension?

[darkstorm]

Are the fatbeams same or higher tension then sunbeams? Ty.

I'm interested in the tension of Sunbeams as well. Looking at putting them on my fretless when I get it.

[Jaco who?]

The signature gauge fatbeams on my fretted LTD seem slightly lower in tension to me than 45-100 sunbeams do on my fretless MIM jazz. I haven't tried both on the same bass to compare, though, so your results may vary.

[mmbongo]

They are similar strings in contruction, both have round core so tension is close. But stainless is generally a little higher in tension, all things being equal. Not a lot higher though.

Ah, ok, Ty. So about the same or slightly higher tension for the fatbeams maybe,
