BLACK BEAUTIES Series 5 String Bass Strings - Medium 45-125

These are just great strings. Given a musician only changes bass strings once a generation why not treat your instrument to a great look as well as a great sound. I’m getting a lot of brightness out of the mediums that I am looking forward to putting in the mix.

I use these strings mainly on a passive bass, although I have just upgraded the tone capsule on an active bass and that will get a set of these too. When you install them, they are very bright and you can shape a real grind into the tone. Which very much suits the punk and metal that I play. You can take that away with the tone pots, maybe just play with your thumb and get a real deep jazz sound. Naturally, picking at the neck gives you a great sound. I used to buy DR flatwounds for my BEAD bass. I’m not too sure if I’ll go back to flats as these share similar traits, eg with the coating, they are pretty smooth Great strings for great price. I would prefer a 130 string for the B.

I was looking for tapewound to replace my old flatwounds on my 75 fender and I came across these . I needed a replacement quick has I had a gig in 2 days time I decided to give them a go! I got them the next day and fitted them straight away hopefully giving them time to settle in. The sound difference was immediately obvious even without the amp. I played them for a while tweeking the tuning and very quickly they stayed in tune. The gig the next evening I got to plug in and wow what a sound the other band members couldn't compliment them enough crisp clear and deep I love them and they will be my go to strings in the future

Awesome strings. Absolutely love these. Super light D&G strings and lasts so long. Can’t go wrong.

So cool! Definitely becoming my regular strings from now on 🔥

they look great, they sound great, apart from the 85 gauge A string which in my case sounds like a rubber band

I like the sound. I love the look. But unfortunately I hate the feel. Possibly the roughest texture strings I’ve ever played. Big slides cause friction burns. A real shame as they are smashing otherwise. Your opinion may vary.

If you like your strings very "bright" sounding then these are for you , my hands sweat quite a bit when I play , but the coating on these helps to keep the brightness Aesthetically I love these against my Maple neck They may be slightly more expensive than some strings , but they for me stay fresher longer , so I find them good value I'm a finger player so the black coating remains quite well , although I have heard if you're a pick player you may have "wear" issues from the pick removing the coating

purely awesome product!

Realmente fiquei surpreso com a leveza e timbre dessas cordas.

Great sound and feel great to play. I've just ordered another set for my other bass.

Cordas de altíssima qualidade, bonitas na cor preta. Som brilhante nos agudos e médios. Chegou rápido.
