HI-DEF NEON Bass (Red, 40-100)

Nice! They feel a little rough on the fingers but they sound good and look good. NO HUM.

They look sick! I’ve played three musicals on them, and they still sound like they’re new!

Love, love DR strings for all of my basses. These neon orange strings pop on my mint green Music Man 5 string. Nothing but compliments on the look but especially the sound of the strings.

I love these strings. They sound great, they last forever, and let's face it, they look cooler than a mother! I really like their tone. The sound I get out of them is perfect for all kinds of playing. They're well made and are a great deal for the money. As you can see, I put them on everything, and they're perfect for those times when you want to just "get mellow" with your mellow-maker of choice, turn on the black light, and get groovy. Get hip, jive turkey!

These strings are incredibly bright (visually) and on a white bass, really make an impression. I'm not a bass/string expert but I find these strings OK. I bought these strings as the first set for my first 6 string because I thought perhaps the colors would subconsciously help me put the tonal quality to each string and help me internalize the fretboard. I don't think it's done anything like that for me, in fact sometimes I wish the strings weren't different colors, but it hasn't been a real detriment. As for feel, the strings feel "softer" from the coating, which is not a bad thing. Another nice thing about the coating is that the strings don't feel so cold on those colder days you want to pick up your instrument. As for sound, the strings are a more mellow (less bright) with the coating than with your traditional strings. It's not so much such that it's a handicap on certain styles like slap or tapping, but it's great if you like to play with a mellow tone. As for durability, the DR website says that the coating will wear off (but not chip, flake) from use with a pick. This is probably more tuned to guitarists, rather than bassists - and if you are a pick bass player, these strings are probably too mellow for the sound you'd want to get with a pick. The coating shows some wear at the frets after bending, but doesn't really show except on the thinnest strings (since they roll when you bend). I play fingerstyle mostly, and, aside from the wear from bending, the strings are still stunning. I still would like to try other brands to test my tone, but I definitely wouldn't mind getting another DR neon set, just perhaps all one color.

I first would like to thank VirVentures for their prompt and courteous service. My Hi-Def Neon Guitar Strings were just as advertised, the color I wanted and sounds awesome. Once again, thanks VirVentures. 👍

They look fantastic, and while I prefer flatwound, these are the best roundwound strings I've played. The low B string especially is the first clearly audible low B string I've had, even when amp-less. So even if I do go back to flatwounds, I'll keep buying these for the low B string at least.

Buenas cuerdas

Bom jogo de cordas

Unimpressed Tried installing and 2 highest strings wouldn't grip in headstock. Ended up breaking when tightened Avoid if you use headless bass

De lujo

Bought this to try out the sound difference from my flats and didn’t really love the very huge gap in definition. That said, as a set, they’re wonderful if EQed equally. Low tensioned, deep rumbles, pretty to look at. Get this if you’re into pretty strings that go boom.

Great tone and life out of every set I get!
