DR Hi Beam Stainless Steel Bass Strings 5 String Medium (45-125)

DR Hi-Beam bass strings are round-wound stainless steel sets built on a round core, a time-intensive construction method that sets them apart from hexagonal-core designs. The round core gives these strings greater flexibility and a bright, musical tone that never tips into harsh territory. Gauged 45–125 for five-string basses in medium tension, they combine punch and clarity with a smooth playing feel that won't chew through frets.

The round-core design allows more string movement under the fingers, delivering responsive dynamics and a lively attack. Stainless steel winding provides extended high-frequency response and snap without sacrificing low-end definition. Compression winding produces a smoother surface than traditional round-wound strings, reducing finger noise and extending string life. The result is a tonal profile that balances brightness with musicality, holding tuning stability and intonation across the entire fingerboard.
