DR Strings Bass - Sunbeam™ Tite-Fit Nickel Short Scale, .045 - .105, SNMR-45star rating 5Justin FearellJanuary 31, 2010I have used Highbeams for years but they didn't work as well on my new shortscale SX. Juststrings is the only place I can find short scale Dr's too. The Sunbeams had more tension and sounded great. Not quite as sparkly but they still have enough hi mid presence to cut through. They don't last quite as long as highbeams, but they don't take so long to break in, and they still last longer than any other nickel string. My biggest complaint is that there is only one size for shortscales.
