Description
Sunbeams sit in that sweet spot bassists chase for years — the warmth of nickel with a top-end sparkle that keeps you cutting through a mix. DR built these on their signature round core, so you get that supple, broken-in feel right out of the pack instead of fighting stiff new strings for weeks.
Because nickel-plated wrap wire carries more magnetic content than stainless steel, your pickups respond with a rounder, more sensitive output. That makes Sunbeams a favorite among fretless players chasing singing sustain and traditional players who want punch without harshness. Whether you’re locking in a pocket on a P-bass or gliding through a fretless line, these strings give you touch-sensitivity that translates every nuance of your playing.
- Gauges: Medium (45, 65, 85, 105)
- Material: Nickel-Plated Steel, Round Core Wire, Ball End
- Scale Length: 37 3/4″
- Short Scale: 33 3/4″
If you’re tired of strings that either go dead too fast or feel too slick under your fingers, Sunbeams offer a durable middle ground — flexible enough for expressive playing, bright enough to stay present onstage, and warm enough to keep your low end feeling musical, not metallic.
