Black is only for the looks and does not hold...

I was curious to try these on a JCBass and a fretless bass.
After one day on the JCB the black coating was gone on all strings were they touch the frets. The sound was ok, but a little bit light.
Tried them on a fretless, (apart from the white spots due to the frets of the JCBass) they look nice on a dark unlined fretboard. The sound was ok but also what you can expect from light strings.
The feel is a bit slippery and rough at the same time but you get used to that.
So concluding: they are nothing special, only for the looks.

Great look. just ok sound.

they look great and they sound amazing but the 1st string. It's opaque and useless for pops and slap. Kind of an expensive upgrade if you can't get a proper sound.

AW
DR Black Beauties.

I?ve been a fan of DR Strings for many years. I?ve mainly used DR High Beams on all my Basses. I love the sound, very bright but not too much to make them sound harsh and they also last for ages.
Read a lot of positive reviews of the Black Beauties and thought I?d give them a go. A bit more expensive but worth a try.
First impression was they looked great on my Warwick Streamer 5 string. Found them quite rough compared to the High Beams and to my ears didn?t quite sound as bright. The black coating is meant to make them last longer but I don?t feel that they lasted any longer than my usual strings.
Glad I tried them but I?ll stick to my High Beams.

Hit and miss

I love the look of these strings but I have found them to be hit and miss. When they're good they're very good but when they're bad - forget about it!
