Dr Fat Beams Vs Hi Beams

3 the tension is the same due the round core wire used in both sets.

Dr fat beams vs hi beams.

Fat beams are the signature string of innovative world class bassist marcus miller. Njxt bottomline i m a former hi beam user who is on his second set of the marcus. 2 the hi beams are brighter with a slight mid scoop whilst the sunbeams are warmer and fuller sounding. Our fat beam bass strings are hand made with the finest american stainless steel available wound on round cores for increased flexibility and tone.

I find myself fretting less hard with them and playing fast easier than i do with flats or other steels. Hi beam stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed on a round core which makes them unique and also require more time to construct. Similar to the hi beams smoother and fatter. They are steel roundwound and have a round core.

Anyways if you re looking to get a bright tone without sacrificing the warmth of the sunbeams get the fat beams. Hi beams require much more time care and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The dr winding has an unusual quality to it where the strings are flexy but it s easy for your fingers to get purchase on them. Fat beams have a bit more zing and hi beams have a firmer low end to my ears.

The extra effort dr expends making hi beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible and musically but not harshly bright. They are nicknamed fat because they give enhanced mids compared to hi beams.
