Looking for new strings - want a chanage

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been playing DR Highbeams for a few years now. I like them fine, but thought maybe it's time for a little change.

My gear is in my signature. I don't want a huge change in my sound, just a little "tweak" for lack of a better term.

Suggestions?

I swear by MTD strings. Stainless .45-.105.


Johno!

i swear by elixir strings, the nanowebs are great. sleek feel and stay sounding bright but not brand new for months, iv had a set of my 6 string and 4 string and they sound awesome still and they were put on in september... not everyone likes coated strings and they are expensive but they last so much longer than others and their tone is consistant and pleasing to me atleast, give em a try

Sadowsky SS! I moved from Hi Beams to Sadowsky the moment I tried them. They have the new Blue label strings out now which are smoother to the touch and more flexible than the Black Label strings. I think the Black Labels are more like High Beams IMO but the Blue Labels are worth a shot. That's what I've got on my bass and I love them.

I like the DR's that you are using. Nice strings, sound good, last a long time and aren't too over priced.
