Refined Bass Guitar Strings for Bass Players

Since 1989, DR has been committed to crafting hand-made, superb-quality instrument strings. By blending the best of old-fashioned handmade craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials or string coatings, DR continues to push the boundaries of the string-making process. That commitment to quality is what has brought countless top-flight bassists and guitarists to string-up with DRs - from U2's Adam Clayton to Phish's Trey Anastasio and everywhere outside and in between.

For reliable tone - acoustic or electric - you can rely on the handcrafted strings from DR. With the DR Extra-Life Black Beauties bass strings, you'll snag the signature crisp tone, clarity, and volume of DR's traditional handmade strings. Yet, you'll get the added bonus of DR's super-thin coating on the plain strings and on the wrap wire, which extends the life of your favorite strings. And, just as the name suggests, DR's Extra-Life Black Beauties sport a stealth-style black coating.

BLACK BEAUTIES™ Black Colored Bass Strings aren't just about the sleek and sophisticated look. They feature a round core wire and a stainless-steel wrap wire to maintain brightness and feel. All strings in the set are coated with a jet-black version of DR's K3™ ultra-hard coating, delivering longevity, more projection, fewer unwanted overtones, and outstanding clarity and articulation.

The wrap wire is coated before the string is wound, and this coating includes a corrosion-inhibiting lacquer for extra protection against damaging substances such as perspiration and dirt. The hand-made black polymer coat on these strings ensures a unique and stylish appearance, while the signature crisp tone, clarity, and volume of DR's traditional handmade strings remain intact.

The super-thin coating on the plain strings and the wrap wire provides an extended string life, allowing players to enjoy the exceptional performance of these strings for longer periods. The medium gauge (5-string) offers a balanced feel and tone, making the DR Extra-Life Black Beauties a versatile choice for bassists of all genres and skill levels.

Whether you're an acoustic or electric player, DR's commitment to quality and innovation shines through in their handcrafted strings. The Extra-Life Black Beauties exemplify this dedication, offering a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern advancements to deliver a superior playing experience. With their sleek black aesthetic and uncompromising sonic performance, these strings are sure to captivate and inspire musicians who demand the best from their equipment.
