DR Strings Sunbeam Nickel 5-String Electric Bass Strings

No longer available at zZounds
Feel the warmth in your bass's sound with these nickel-plated strings. These soft-feeling strings are great for both traditional and fretless bass players.

The DR Strings Sunbeam 5 String Bass Guitar Strings feature the easily recognizable feel and flexibility of DR round core construction, with nickel warmth, softness of feel, and increased response to magnetic pickups due to the sensitive magnetic content (compared to stainless steel) of the nickel plated wrap wire. Tony Franklin says "Sunbeams amaze me, I love them on my fretless."

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I prefer a little bit lighter gauge, that zZounds didn't carry, but all in all these are great strings.
Sound
This is my second set of DR Sunbeams. They are great strings - mellow sound with lots of harmonics.
Features
Nickel-plated steel - nice warm tone and soft felling with a long sustain.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use.
Quality
No complaints about the string quality.
Value
DR Strings are a little more expensive, but you get a lot more out of them, IMO.
