Crafted from alloy steel with a medium gauge, these black-coated strings deliver enhanced volume, clarity, and articulation, making them a top choice for professional bassists seeking durability and premium tone. ## Description BLACK BEAUTIES Black Coated 5-String Bass Strings Medium (45-130). DR's new, remarkable, proprietary and patent pending K3 Technology Coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings. Players tell us that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation then standard, uncoated strings. Yet, they provide the same protection due to corrosion and perspiration as well as increased tone life that coated strings are known for." Review: Love the BBSs. Tone is great, crisp and bright and the longevity is a big plus. These strings have lasted me a year in the past with only a slight loss of tone. They are a little more expensive than regular strings but it’s definitely worth the investment. Review: These are nice sounding and long wearing strings. The coating does feel a bit odd to the touch, kind of dry and not slippery, you can get used to it though. I would buy them again. ## Features - DR's new, remarkable, proprietary and patent pending K3 Technology Coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings - Players tell us that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation then standard, uncoated strings - Yet, they provide the same protection due to corrosion and perspiration as well as increased tone life that coated strings are known for - " DR's new, remarkable, proprietary and patent pending K3 Technology Coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0089N46KU | | Body Material | Alloy Steel | | Color Name | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (229) | | Date First Available | 24 January 2015 | | Item Weight | 159 g | | Item model number | BKB5-130 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Product Dimensions | 15.49 x 15.75 x 2.29 cm; 159 g | | Size | 5-String(45-130) | | String Gauge | Medium | | String Material | Stainless Steel | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DR Strings - **Colour:** Black - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String gauge:** Medium - **String material type:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![DR Black Beauties Bass 5 Strings 45-130 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aVqrEG8hL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***O on 11 July 2024* Love the BBSs. Tone is great, crisp and bright and the longevity is a big plus. These strings have lasted me a year in the past with only a slight loss of tone. They are a little more expensive than regular strings but it’s definitely worth the investment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***N on 29 December 2023* These are nice sounding and long wearing strings. The coating does feel a bit odd to the touch, kind of dry and not slippery, you can get used to it though. I would buy them again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***A on 14 January 2026* Insanely good strings, great feel on the fingers, and the sound is exactly what i needed, be aware that these are coated so you won't be grounding your bass when touching the strings! (If you have hum on the bass) Normal roundwounds without coating made my fingers bleed while playing songs with a lot of slides, this one never made that happends, pretty happy with these strings, would recommend! ## Frequently Bought Together - DR Black Beauties Bass 5 Strings 45-130 - Ernie Ball Polypro Guitar Strap, Black (P04037) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/396205865-dr-black-beauties-bass-5-strings-45-130](https://www.desertcart.it/products/396205865-dr-black-beauties-bass-5-strings-45-130) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
