DR Strings Bass - Sunbeams™ Nickel Plated on Round Cores Lite 5s, .040-.130, NLR5-40-130star rating 3MarkJanuary 17, 2010I had these on a P-bass, and honestly I was a little disappointed. They were extremely bright out of the box, and I gave them about two weeks to try to "settle in", but they never really lost that brightness. I also thought they were really rough to the touch, which I'm not a big fan of. On another bass with more time to break in, I think these would fare better for me, but not in this case.
