Product Description
Red Devils bass guitar strings with K3 Technology. The K3 coating is the first coating that players report, "sound as good or better than uncoated strings." DR's remarkable and proprietary K3 Technology coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings. Players tell us that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation than standard, uncoated strings. Yet, they provide the same protection due to corrosion and perspiration as well as increased tone life that coated strings are known for.
From the Manufacturer
RED DEVILS™ Red Colored Bass Strings aren’t for the timid. With round core wires and silver-plated nickel-plated steel wrap wires, their loud and aggressive sound compliments their vibrant color. All strings in the set are coated with a red-colored version of DR’s proprietary K3™ coating, which delivers longevity, more projection, fewer unwanted overtones, and outstanding clarity and articulation.

These are some of the red bass strings of all time! They last forever, unlike me

I absolutely love DR Black Beauties, but I have a red Cort I needed to string, and saw these. I honestly can't tell the difference, except these are a bit thicker gauge than I normally get and the bottom end is MASSIVE. I don't think there's going to be a different type of strings on this bass anytime soon. I just put them on so I can't legitimately say they have better longevity being lower gauge, but if they're anything like the Black Beauties, they'll be quite solid for a bit.

These sound great and the playability is good with the coating. HOWEVER, the coating will only last 50-100hrs of play before you start to see it worn off in areas (where you pick, or pluck and at the frets). Still, they aren't super expensive so... worth it for me.

Muy buen tacto al tocar y color espectacular. El sonido es algo especial y no tan brillante como unas estandar.

3rd string was different red color, not like the other strings, and it didn’t fit on my guitar

I have been buying these strings for years for a Jazz Bass and have never been happier. The coating is great, looks awesome but doesn't have that coated feel. They are also very durable, I was regularly going through strings using "slap and pop" techniques and these hold up much better. For my other basses I use the black ones to match better. I'll never buy a different brand of strings again.

I bought these strings after breaking the ones on my Wesley bass guitar. The colour is amazing, the sound is better than the stock ones, which is weird as the stocks weren't coated and these are. My only trouble was that the E string snapped as i was tuning it, i believe it being down to it being hand made and fairly cheap. Amazingly Amazon sent me a replacement string for free, it only took 1 day to arrive, no questions asked. I have now fitted all strings, they are a blast to use and sound more professional than i could have imagined. They are too good for £36.00, especially when the equivalent made by a well known brand which i wont name, was over £100.00!! Amazing i will definitely by Red Devils again, and will definitely use Amazon again.

On my second set... I have been a huge DR string fan for many years and use their strings exclusively. I have been using the black beauties on all 3 of my basses for over 2 years now, just decided to try the red devils. So far, they perform the same as the black beauties do and sound just as good only the strings are red instead of black. They are however not quite as "bright" sounding as DR's "high beams" are, atleast not on my basses and through my rig, but pretty close. That is something maybe to keep in mind about coated strings, but they do outlast standard strings by quite a while! They do look great on my red bass though and look pretty cool under a black light and concert lighting!

I originally installed these on my semi-hollow body Gretch D6128 Thunderbass in an attempt to cut down on the string and fret noise I was getting with conventional strings.These not only reduced those issues considerably, the tone is fantastic! I have been using these on the Gretch now for over 18 months and have nothing but praise for these strings! The red color also adds a very unique look to the instrument and I am always getting compliments on the look!In addition to my D6128, I have also installed a set of these on my Candy Apple Red Fender Jaguar short scale bass with equally impressive results.The string itself is the time tested DR Sunbeam round core with the custom micro-coating applied. The same great tone you get from the Sunbeam string with the added benefit of reduced string and fret noise.I can't recommend these strings highly enough for anyone looking for a quality coated string.(Be sure to check out the photos I posted of my two guitars running Red Devils!)

These strings were reccomended to me by an acquaintance of mine during a bass clinic I attended recently. I ordered them right away.. All i can say is WOW! Excellent tone. It really brightened up my sound. I had gotten used to muddy sounding strings. I havent noticed a sticky feeling like others have mentioned, mine are silky smooth. Great playability. Was'nt too concerned about color, But When I installed them on my Ferrari red Carvin LB 70, I fell in love with my bass all over again. It looks stunning, and I get many comments about my bass now..Others have mentioned that the color wears off quickly, but I don't care, I'll used the color wear as a guage of when to change them..Then neon ones even glow brightly under a black light. Bass players don't get much credit so why not give them a show and something to talk about.
