DR Fatbeams
« on: January 05, 2008, 10:36:15 PM »
Man, after trying about 10 different types of strings I think I've found MY strings.

They're crisp, warm, and sound GOOOOODDD.  I don't think i'll be buying anything else...even though I know people with some "hookups" on all types of brands.


Try them out if you haven't!!!!

Those are gonna be the next set of strings I get, the last time I went to purchase strings, they didn't have Fatbeams, so I settled with LowRiders, then my wife bought me some Dean Markley Blue Steels, but I still wanted to get my hands on the fatbeams.

he LowRiders are good, but they aren't on the level of the fatbeams IMHO. 

The fatbeams have excellent tension and they just sound like BUTTER not to mention the over feel of the string is great.  The tension is very balanced across the strings.  I'm using a 34" Jazz bass.

If these didn't work out i was going to try out the elixirs, but I don't feel that urge anymore.

As the youngsters say now-a-daysREAL TALK!!!

With that being said I played them in service yesterday and THEY WERE ROCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The definition in the highs is amazing.  And you can be so mellow that you'll have the mothers board bobbing their head.

Yeah, I'm looking to buy some in bulk now.  I figure if I get 12 sets that should last me a little over a year.

They are MELLOW doc.


My lakland could get almost a flat wound kind of mellow, so not as mellow as my lakland with lakland nickels, but still very mellow.  VERY diverse strings doc!!

The Hi-beams are indeed edgy... I'd describe them as being very "accurate" strings, crisp, defined and super clear.  The fatbeams give you that clarity as well but smoothed out a bit with booty on the low end.  Trust us, you'll love the fatties!

I have a set of Marcus Millers that BassbyGrace sent me last year.  I am going to put them on a Fender fretless Jazz bass sometime this month.

The Dr Fatbeams are the Marcus Miller signiture strings. I honestly did not know they were called Fatbeams, until today when I went to go buy a set. Those are the string I use also. When I buy them I just had always asked for the Marcus Miller set, never read the box. Excellent strings!

Yeah after further review, they have become my go to strings.  I think bcause I had them in Iraq, the weather conditions were jacking up how they played.  As Jeremy stated, they are very versatile strings.  I just live the slap feel of them.  The strings have a natural groove tone to them.

Jeremyr, Greetings my brother I know you speak of the Lackland in this thread but I'm curious I cant make out the Axe in your avatar, it doesn't look like a Lackland.
What Bass is that?
