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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great feeling and sound *by T***N on 28 August 2025* Love DR strings ,had issues with red devils being dead out out of the packet ,so thought I'd try hi beams as they get good reviews ,they sound and feel great ,waited till they were on offer ,sound bright and zingy but lots of bottom end ,no issues with dead strings on these ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bass strings, nice and bright! *by D***S on 6 November 2024* These strings have been a great addition to my VM '77 Jazz Bass. Even after wearing in the brightness remains while keeping that authentic jazz bass tone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astounding quality *by G***L on 3 December 2016* I'm actually a little speechless, these strings are perfect for metal, rock, blues, jazz, anything. They sound bright, even after 6 months. (I'll be buying more soon, don't worry.) They feel very strong, though relenting on your skin. As someone who plays finger-style, I can't recommend these enough. I personally prefer these over Ernie Ball and D'Addario - the only breaker in this deal is the price. If you're touring and need to change strings every fortnight, (or weekly! ...shudder), the price will become hefty. For the studio? Worth every penny. ## Frequently Bought Together - DR Strings HI-BEAMS - Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Guitar Strings, 45-125, Round Core - DR Strings PURE BLUES Bass Guitar Strings (PB5-45) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/68266671-dr-strings-hi-beam-series-5-string-bass-strings-medium](https://www.desertcart.co/products/68266671-dr-strings-hi-beam-series-5-string-bass-strings-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
