DR's on Alembic
Sign in to disble this ad
I have taken the plunge and tried out the DR High Beams on my Europa. They sound amazing, however.....

The tension seems to be way too tight for what I am used to, I guess due to the fact that the bass is 35" scale?

Does anyone have any recommendations given that I like the sound of the DR's but not the tension?

you'll get use to it!
and then you'll love DRs

i played my friends europa with DRs and it rocked the house. he wasn't the nicest guy though. he was a bit of a smart arse

but seriously DR high beams are meant for 35" basses
