Review: My go-to Bass Strings - I've been using DR strings for many years now. Not just the Hi-Beams. If you're looking for a bright tone with plenty of body, these are a good option. They are stainless steel, so your fingers will feel the difference if you're coming from nickel strings. In other words, they are harder. But this also makes them last longer and sound brighter for a longer period of time. Unfortunately, it's not hard to ruin the strings either. I've had my bass sit in environments where just a few weeks were enough to make the strings sound dull. Be aware of this when you use these strings: they are sensitive to moisture/humidity. They will still sound good, but the tone will change drastically.

Otherwise, the 2 are vertually the same. In fact, unless you're playing a bass equiped with high quality active 3 band or better pickups with a mid range sweep eq., I doubt you'll notice much of an audible difference between the 2 sets of strings, if any difference at all. **Q: Are these 45-125 or 45-120?** A: 45-125. **Q: will these work on a 35" neck with string thru body,I used the DR legend strings now and they fit and they are great strings ,but want to try the high** A: I'm, 99% sure they will. I use them on a G+L 1505 with a string thru body. I think it's a 34" scale. There is plenty of meat left. Don't cut any extra off. It's explained on the inside of the carton. These are the only strings ive tried that properly fit my g+l. Love them. I've tried all the major brands. **Q: Does it have a tapered B string?** A: DR makes tapercores...these are not the ones you seek though ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bass strings *by C***R on March 10, 2026* Great sound, quality! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to Bass Strings *by Y***Z on January 4, 2022* I've been using DR strings for many years now.

(some people actually like that) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tones *by J***. on February 27, 2026* Perfect for ridiculously bright, clean slap tones AND for that cranky prog metal sound when coupled with overdrive or high gain. Definitely my go to for bright, piano-like sounds. ## Frequently Bought Together - DR Strings HI-BEAMS - Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Guitar Strings, 45-125, Round Core - DR Strings PURE BLUES Bass Guitar Strings (PB5-45) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/4078102-mr5-45-hi-beam-stainless-steel-medium-5-string-bass](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/4078102-mr5-45-hi-beam-stainless-steel-medium-5-string-bass) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
