DR Hi-Beams stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a round core, which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible, musically bright (not harshly bright) and renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency and string-to-string balance. They don't eat your frets.

Guages: 45 - 65 - 85 - 105.

    I put a set of these on my MIJ Fender Mustang. They gave the bass a firmer 'pop' in the tone and have a little more string tension. With the extra tension I can get the action low without excessive string rattle. So far I really like them

  • don't know ,broke first string on D when tuning to E

    I've used this Mikro Bass for practicing at home. It may be usable for playing in public since putting on these DR short scale strings, though. This particular bass was not set up well at the factory, but after setting it up myself and putting these strings on, the tone is true up and down the scale. These strings are intended for a normal short-scale bass, but are working fine so far with this Mikro.

    Recording my original music and use a bass guitar for variety and depth. I recently purchased Ibanez Mikro bass and needed short scale. Guitar Center so far has the best selection.
