Basses with colored strings...

I have to say Munji that those are wild. I've never seen anything of the like.

Not surprising. The colors are actually an artifact of digital photography - birefringence. They're just regular old strings.

My bass has got Blood Red Aurora strings (no pics yet) but the colour does rub off eventually. More so around the pickups, but most damage is normally done by picking it, or by playing for 2 hours or more. The areas of rubbed of colour are barely noticeable to a point, after about a year they will need changing (which is slightly less than most strings).

What? Who leaves strings on for a year? I change strings on my main bass, pretty much, bi-monthly. I can't stand dead strings at all. Also to the OP, I predominately use DR Hi-Beams and I tried the DR black beauties (coated Hi-Beams) and they were just dead. I bought 2 sets and they were both, straight out of the box, entirely lifeless. I was so disappointed that I called DR to complain, they sounded like dead strings, no snap nor brightness. Be careful if you like snappy, bright strings.

Which color do you like best? The Pink Hofner or the Black tapewound strings? A killer combination by the way.

i think that's the bass of my dreams!!!

Thanks for sharing the photo. I might be into that, if I could see those on a bass, in real time. Who knows?

Two out of three basses that wear strings prefer DR Black Beauties......

Well, at least in my house

I also have a Devon Diamond J5 with Black Beauties.

I gotta say, those pink strings are awesome! I think it'd be funny to show up to practice or a gig with this on. I might buy some! lol

I wanna see green and red strings first though. Anybody have those?

i saw that pic months ago and i never get to solve the mistery on that string

I must say, the pink strings on an all black bass really stand out, I have a few sets of the green strings, but they don't jump out (color wise) like the pink ones.
