Description

DR NEONs are super bright color coated strings that sound clear, bright and musical. Players love the bright NEON colors and their remarkable sound. Super bright in daylight and under stage lighting, DR's NEON 100% black light active and glow strongly under UV lighting. NEONs are the first coated string to make no apologies. While NEONs last as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better, than uncoated strings. These ones are blue, guage .045 - .105 for electric bass.

    Look cool, sound like garbage. Dead tone and sustain. Wonder why you've never seen pros use them? Cause they suck! Don't sacrifice your sound for a gimmick.

    OK, I bought them because they look cool on Charlie's 1967 Domino bass. Actually, they play well and are a bit thinner than what I am accustomed to playing. I can't wait to shine UV light on them !!!

  • Good for stringed instruments.

    Works nicely on stringed instruments. I would not use it on a wind instrument. Did not pick up a penny whistle well.

  • I would buy this product again!

    Overall great sounding strings. Good reaction, good quality tone, as well as good sustained tone. The color was not quite as. Right as I anticipated, but under the lights, the strings shine more. Would have liked a more "neon" blue without the need to black lighting. I just wanted them to "glow more" on their own, which is really pretty impossible to do without lighting.

    do these strings only work for the electric bass? Or can I use them in my wooden acoustic bass?

    They'll work. Acoustic basses usually use bronze.
