DR Strings HI-DEF NEON Bass Guitar Strings (NOB-45)

Got these on sale for a goof and didn’t expect much, but I like them. Nice action and sound is good. Replaced la Bella nylons

Got these for the color and they are amazing in the blue light that we play in and very durable as well

Hello Moto: I've been buying these Neon style from ohhh 2003, and as a Bass player 50+ years, as for How I play, What I play. And knowing FULL well it is all Personal. I am the Proud owner of 14-16 Basses, these strings give me the Sound I ask of it!!! And that my Friend is the Root of it All !!! WHAT STRING WILL SOUND ON WHAT BASS!!! Good " Hunting"!!!

These strings provide a rich tone and colour; I have noticed that it wears with heavy usage and sweaty palms/fingers. I am not usually a person that sweats much while playing so these strings usually lasts quite long; however there are times when my bass is used by other people at practice, so I generally de-string (and use some older strings) for practice and re-string when I am playing gigs.

I bought a set of these about 6 months ago for my American Fender P bass...one of 12 basses I own. The sound is very good. I've been using DR strings (usually the Sunbeams) for many years, and these sound just about the same as the uncoated ones. The feel is a little different though. If you've ever played coated strings you know what I mean. The color doesn't seem to have any effect on that. Not quite as slick for your fingers to slide over as uncoated strings. I seem to notice that on all the coated strings, from any maker.They really do light up under UV light, but the look pretty cool even without it.After installing them, I noticed the G string seemed a little dead. (Yes, I know how to re-string a bass without damaging the new strings...I've been playing for 45 years) I called DR directly, and they sent me a replacement right away...no questions asked. I installed the new G, and it was as bright as the rest. It was nice to call a manufacturer, and not get an endless maze of automated messages! A real human being answered the phone, understood the problem, and took care of my problem right away. A lot of others could how to take care of their customers from DR!I would have given them 5 stars if it hadn't been for the first dead G string. If I could give them 6 stars for support I would.I'll be buying DR strings for as long as I can still play a bass. Great strings, and first-rate support.

These, are by far the best strings i have played. not only do they sound excellent, but the color of them is just stunning. every time i sit down to play, i cant help but smile when i see my favorite color on my favorite possession. excellent product DR. i'l high five that hand on your product any day.

It took me a month or more to put the strings on, and I am a beginner bass player so I did not realize there was a problem at first. But after another month or two I notice that the A string is quieter than the other ones. It is noticeable when I play more forcefully. I was asking friends if there was something wrong with pickups, or the bridge, etc. But I think it is just a "dead" string. I remember reading reviews here that mentioned. Otherwise I like the strings, but I would like to send this set back. Could you help?

I purchased these for my son who is a student at Millikin University. He loves them and is getting compliments on how well his bass sounds. I placed an order for yellow ones for back up. He is very excited to know that these will be available in blue and red in the fall of 2012.
