Fat beam strings are the best.

Dr fat beams review.

String life is about average compared to other brands. I play metal country jazz blues classic rock the list goes on and these strung up to a jazz bass are as ive said the best there is out there hands down. They are steel roundwound and have a round core. They are steel roundwound and have a round core.

Similar to the hi beams smoother and fatter. I m not a fan of dr strings for this reason. Fat beams are the signature string of innovative world class bassist marcus miller. Fat beams are the signature string of innovative world class bassist marcus miller.

If you play 4 string this is not a concern. They have a nice balanced response not overly bright but very present even volume across the strings. Similar to the hi beams smoother and fatter. They have an exceptional low e string that just rings feels and sounds fantastic.

Fender jazz bass mim dr fats thanks and credits to elite backing tracks for amazing no bass tracks. Generally fat beams won t do that because they are on a round core but there is still a danger of it. The a d and g strings are very close to dr hi beams in feel and tone but with a slightly looser feel. They are just a little thicker down low.

Reviewed in the united states on august 14 2018 ive been using dr hi beams for a very long time they sound great and deserve a 5 star rating but the fat beams series are not as punchy as i expected. Ive been playing bass almost 25 years and im still currently active let me enlighten you all on something the marcus miller fat beams are awesome. I m mostly a finger player as opposed to a slapper but if you need to pop the response stays even. I have a set of these on my alder rosewood j bass.

I like them slightly better than hi beams. Check him out for a variety of reasons as well as to hear some characteristics of these strings. Love dr bass strings and these fat beams are a favorite of mine.
