DR Black Beauties 50–110 Tapered Bass Strings are built for players who want maximum tone, feel, and durability without compromise. Designed for long-scale basses up to 37 3/4″, these strings combine premium materials with DR’s legendary hand-wound craftsmanship to deliver a sound that cuts through the mix while staying smooth under your fingers.

At the core is round-core construction, which gives these strings a more flexible feel, richer harmonics, and enhanced musical response compared to standard hex-core strings. The result is a bass tone that’s bright and punchy, yet controlled, articulate, and dynamic—perfect for everything from aggressive rock lines to precise studio work.

The signature K3 black coating doesn’t just look killer—it actively fights corrosion, sweat, and grime, dramatically extending string life while preserving tone. Unlike traditional coated strings that can feel dull or slippery, Black Beauties retain a natural feel and consistent response from the first note to the last gig.

Why players choose DR Black Beauties:

• Long-scale fit (up to 37 3/4″) for modern basses

• 50–110 tapered gauge for improved tension balance and sustain

• Round core for flexibility, feel, and harmonic richness

• Bright, punchy tone with clear articulation and strong low end

• K3 coating for long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance

• Sleek black finish that looks as bold as it sounds

• Made in the USA

If you want bass strings that sound aggressive, feel smooth, last longer, and look unmistakable, DR Black Beauties aren’t just an upgrade—they’re a statement.
