Victor Wooten on Pure Blues

Description
The DR Strings Pure Blues Medium 5-String Bass Strings are a revelation for any bassist seeking a balanced set of strings that can handle any playing style or genre. These handmade, quantum-nickel strings provide a velvety feel and sound that brings out the best in your bass. Whether you prefer to pluck, pick, pop or slap, the Pure Blues strings deliver a warm, punchy tone with articulate highs and a solid low end. Their round cores and nickel wrap wire give them unparalleled flexibility and tonal versatility. Once you experience their unsurpassed feel and sound, your bass will never be the same.
Quantum-Nickel Wrap Wire Marries Warmth and Brightness
The Pure Blues strings feature DR's proprietary Quantum-NickelTM wrap wire, which blends the rich warmth of nickel with the cutting edge of stainless steel. The result is a balanced string that can produce full, deep lows as well as crisp, shimmering highs with equal aplomb. Whether you want a smooth fretless-like sound or an aggressive slap tone, these strings have you covered.
Round Cores Increase Flexibility and Playability
At the heart of the Pure Blues strings are flexible round cores that make playing a dream. Their supple feel allows for effortless fretting, sliding and bending. Combined with the velvety nickel wrap, these round cores help reduce string noise and let notes ring clearly even during the most intricate basslines. Your fingers will glide across the fretboard, allowing you to play with speed, precision and confidence.
Handmade for Unmatched Quality
DR Strings are handmade by expert string makers who can make subtle adjustments throughout the winding process to achieve the optimal sound and feel. Machine-made strings simply can't match this level of customization and quality. The Pure Blues bass strings are a testament to the difference handmade strings can make, delivering a playing experience that inspires your creativity.
The Complete Tonal Package for 5-String Basses
With gauges ranging from 45 to 125, the Pure Blues Medium 5-String Bass Strings provide balanced tension and intonation for most 5-string basses. From the punchy low B string to the articulate high C string, these strings give your bass a cohesive, versatile voice that shines in any musical situation. For unparalleled tone and feel, choose the DR Strings Pure Blues.
