Hi-Beam stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a round core which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care, and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible, musically bright not harshly bright and renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency, and string-to-string balance. They don't eat your frets. HI-BEAMS are the string to choose for brightness, punch and ease of playing. Review: Fait ressortir le grain typique de ma WW SS1 comme aucune autre marque.

Otherwise, the 2 are vertually the same. In fact, unless you're playing a bass equiped with high quality active 3 band or better pickups with a mid range sweep eq., I doubt you'll notice much of an audible difference between the 2 sets of strings, if any difference at all. **Q: Are these 45-125 or 45-120?** A: 45-125. **Q: will these work on a 35" neck with string thru body,I used the DR legend strings now and they fit and they are great strings ,but want to try the high** A: I'm, 99% sure they will. I use them on a G+L 1505 with a string thru body. I think it's a 34" scale. There is plenty of meat left. Don't cut any extra off. It's explained on the inside of the carton. These are the only strings ive tried that properly fit my g+l. Love them. I've tried all the major brands. **Q: Does it have a tapered B string?** A: DR makes tapercores...these are not the ones you seek though ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***E on 30 December 2021* Fait ressortir le grain typique de ma WW SS1 comme aucune autre marque.
