Fat-Beams are compression wound to produce fat mids, bright highs and that distinct edgy Fat-Beam sound. Hand-made with the finest American stainless steel available, wound on round cores for increased flexibility and tone. DR Strings are hand-made (not machine-made) because our expert string-makers are capable of making micro adjustments needed through the winding process for the best sound and feel possible. The Difference is Real.
From the Manufacturer
FAT-BEAM™ Bass Strings blend the finest American stainless-steel wrap wire on a round core, but are made with a slower and high compression winding process to produce more pronounced mids, bright highs and a super-fat bottom. They produce an overall fuller sound with a solid punch when it’s needed.

Una de las mejores cuerdas sin duda, un tono impresionante sobre todo muy buenos graves en bajos de escala larga +35 o multi escala.

These strings are my go-to because they're not zingy but still impolite and cut through, my requirement for a string.

Compré este modelo y siento que sí dan un mejor sonido para graves. Me gustan la suavidad de las cuerdas. Dan un sonido bastante bueno. Llevo como 5 años usando la marca en diferentes modelos y la verdad, no tengo queja alguna

The strings sounded good but need to be more durable. I had them about a month and they already broke.Very disappointed!!

For that harmonically rich roundwound bass string tone, these can't be beat, and that "brand-new" brilliance lasts much longer than most!

I've been through TONS of strings of all types over the past 5 years. Clueless me has finally realized that matching a set of strings to a bass is like trying to find the right clothes with the right fit. I did settle on DR Highbeams and still have them on my Sterling MM 5 string because they sound AWESOME but they sounded meh on my Squire VM jazz 5 string, VM P bass 5 string and others. I decided to try the FATBEAMS on a Squier 5 string active jazz that I picked up for cheap that had crap rounds on it. The whole personality of the bass changed. It was now warm and punchy with a clear top end. The bass that I thought I was going to sell I will now never sell. I did try FATBEAMS on my VM Jazz and a 2007 MM3 OLP 5 string and they were just OK. Like clothes, I guess, you have to try several different things to see what works. DR FATBEAMS should be one in that mix.

Threw these strings on a Marcus Miller Sire P7 five string bass. They have a great bright sound that isn’t harsh sounding. The slap tones are incredible.

These sound and feel great. They last for two or three gigs with a good sound before needing to be cleaned. They do not mar the frets. The only downside is they stretch easily so you have to adjust tuning often.
