Description:
DR Strings Black Beauties (BKB5-45) deliver the signature crisp tone, clarity, and volume of DR's traditional handmade strings, with the added durability of DR's proprietary K3™ coating. Applied in a jet-black finish across the entire set, the ultra-hard coating extends string life, eliminates unwanted overtones, and helps projection, clarity, and articulation — all while maintaining the brightness players expect from uncoated strings. The all-black look adds a modern, sophisticated edge to any bass.
Built with a round core and stainless-steel wrap wire, this 5-string Medium set (.045–.125) balances punch and playability for fingerstyle and pick players alike. Handcrafted in the USA by DR, trusted by top bassists from U2's Adam Clayton to Phish's Trey Anastasio.
Note: The K3™ coating is designed for use with picks and fingers; take care when passing strings through metal bridges or blocks, as scraping can damage the coating.
