Product Description
Fat-Beams are compression wound to produce fat mids, bright highs and that distinct edgy Fat-Beam sound. Hand-made with the finest American stainless steel available, wound on round cores for increased flexibility and tone. DR Strings are hand-made (not machine-made) because our expert string-makers are capable of making micro adjustments needed through the winding process for the best sound and feel possible. The Difference is Real.
From the Manufacturer
FAT-BEAM™ Bass Strings blend the finest American stainless-steel wrap wire on a round core, but are made with a slower and high compression winding process to produce more pronounced mids, bright highs and a super-fat bottom. They produce an overall fuller sound with a solid punch when it’s needed.

As a guitar and bass tech I see a lot of basses. But the overwhelming choice for strings remains DR Fat Beams. Great strings, great price, and I have yet to have a dud show up. If you're getting ready to re-string your bass I encourage you to try these.

I'm of the mindset that strings are the first thing I change on a bass new to me, and Fat Beams are a go-to. Steels.

Very similar to the DR High Beams; they are supposed to have a bit more bottom than the High Beams with a bit less brightness on the high end. I suppose I agree with that. I'll be playing these over time and we'll see how they wear. Great string choice though; loving them with my Custom Shop P Bass and Boogie Rig.

I bought a P bass clone (tagima) a little while ago and have loved playing it since day 1. I decided to give it new strings, just to see if it could be that much better, and ordered rotosound wing bass strings. Really wanted to like them, ended up hating the feel and the tone. They also had a TON of overtone vibrations, buzzing like crazy. Got the same set in a lighter gauge, and the A string became the problem. Returned both sets, and decided to try these.Normally, I'm not a fan of DR's guitar strings, but these bass strings are just fantastic. Great feel, great sustain, thick tone. It even sounds good just noodling without the amp on. Very happy to have found these and I'll definitely be sticking with them next time around.

I switched to DR from Rotosound a long time ago. Rotosounds are just not the same anymore and have inconsistent playing life. I like these better than the DR Hi-Beams. To my ears they have a little deeper rounder tone on the E string. Playing life is pretty good on these as long as you wind correctly and wipe down after playing. Good strings. I'll continue to buy and use these.

Ordered them for my Fender Marcus Miller as my prefered alternative to his new signature Dunlop set. I use DR strings on most of my basses!

Big fan of Dr strings. Using Sunbeam all the time but this time I decide to slap fat beam on my Jazz bass. Awesome sound and "fat" "sharp" as described. The feeling is definitely more rough than sunbeam smooth feeling, but is not that bad! As long as you build your calluses with nickel strings and control your pressing/attacking fingers, this won't peel your skin off. In addition, since it's compressed wounding and handmade, it should feel better than other stainless steel strings in the market. Try one and you won't regret it. Good luck and Stay rock!

In den letzten Jahren habe ich fast ausschliesslich meinen Warwick Thumb 4 Fretless gespielt. Da jetzt aber doch ab und an mal wieder Slap Sounds gefragt waren habe ich mir noch einen Warwick Thumb 4 angeschafft, jetzt aber vor der Frage stehend, welche Saiten?!Nach mittellanger Websuche habe ich mich dann für die ehemaligen Saiten von Marcus Miller entschieden. Und was soll ich sagen, die Saiten sind extrem Druckvoll und brilliant, verlieren aber bei regelmässigem Spiel nach ca. 3 Wochen ihre Brillianz und für mich ist es dann Zeit sie zu wechseln, man kann sie aber auch gerne noch länger spielen, sie sind dann nicht tot aber ich wechsel dann. Dazu muss ich sagen das ich täglich spiele...Als Fazit kann ich nur sagen die Kombi von Thumb und den DR's machen Laune und einen guten Sound! Auf der aktuellen Nachtzug CD Deutschrock oder so! könnt ihr Euch davon ein Bild machen...Schönen Groove und bässte GrüßeDirk
