Their commitment to excellence has garnered a loyal following of world-class bassists and guitarists. The DR Extra-Life Black Beauties bass strings provide the crisp tone, clarity and volume of DR's traditional handmade strings, with the added benefit of a super-thin coating on the plain strings and wrap wire that extends string life. As the name suggests, DR's Extra-Life Black Beauties have a sleek black coating for a covert look.

Round Core and Stainless-Steel Wrap for Articulate Brightness

At the core of the Black Beauties full, articulate tone is a round core wire and stainless-steel wrap wire. The stainless-steel wrap maintains brightness and responsive feel. All strings in the set feature DR's K3TM ultrahard coating in jet black, which delivers longer string life, more projection, fewer unwanted overtones and outstanding clarity.

Fast, Smooth Playability

Black Beauties are the latest in coated bass string technology. The wire is pre-coated in black before winding for maximum life and protection. DR Black Beauties are fast and smooth, with a slick feel ideal for rapid bass lines and complex finger work.

Versatile Tones for Any Genre

The balanced gauge set of 45, 65, 85 and 105 provides a versatile tone palette for any music genre. Roll off the tone for a warm, vintage thump or turn up the treble for an aggressive rock growl with singing highs. Black Beauties full frequency response and ample string tension make them a solid choice for 4-string bassists dropping the low E to D as well.

Premium Components, Superior Construction

Like all DR Strings, Black Beauties are crafted using superior materials and handmade with old-world craftsmanship. Plain steel cores are drawn to precise tolerances for consistent tone, feel and intonation. Stainless-steel wrap wire is tightly wound onto the core using a proprietary wrap ratio and years of string-making expertise. The result is a premium set of bass strings with a peerless combination of tone, feel and longevity.
