ive used Marcus Miller Fat Beams by DR for a while, and theyve lasted 2 months a pop, then 1 month, now....... i had them on for a WEEK and a HALF, and they were D-E-A-D. i dont know if this if funny or just plain sad (keeping in mind that I even used STRING WIPES to keep them clean) is this funny or sad? |

I've got a mix of High Beams and Fat Beams on my fleet I installed last March/April when I went recording, and they still sound very crisp and growly. I have a can of Wonder Wipes, but I rarely ever wiped them down...like maybe twice.
You're living up to your name....brutal! |

(ie: D-E-A-D)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: lima | | | are you playing more these days? before i got really involved with my band, my strings used to last around 4 months of bright, the last set i bought only lasted 1 month of brightness, but it is because we rehearse 6 hours daily, 3 days a week, and our practice are very intense |
