Hi there! What would be better? Hi-beam or lo-rider. I'm playing something like jazz-simpho-rock, not very hard, but with many diferent bass lines that shuld cut trough the guitar and drum. Something like: gong, focus, periferia del mondo... Thanks!
You know, I'm going to be honest that I can't really tell any noticable difference in the various DR strings. I just grab whatever stainless steel strings they have available and in a guage that's acceptable to me. I'm rocking lo-riders right now and just took of hi-beams that I had on for about a year, so it's hard to compare, but I notice virtually no difference in feel. Of course it's brighter now, but I remember the hi-beams being nice and bright when new too. I'm usually perceptive to small differences, but the whole roundcore and hexcore differences must be very little.
The Hi-Beams have some piano tone going on with them, if that's what you're looking for. Not so much with the Lo Riders IME. Lo Riders do feel stiffer.
