DR Black Beauties with the K3™ coating is the first coating that players tell DR Handmade Strings that they "Sound as good or better than uncoated strings."  DR Handmade Strings new, remarkable proprietary and patent pending K3™ Technology Coating is the first coating that makes no apologizes and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings.  Players tell DR strings that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and more articulation than standard, uncoated strings.  The DR Black Beauties provide the great protection from reducing corrosion caused by perspiration while increasing the tone life of the strings that coated strings are known for.  DR Handmade Strings always combines old fashioned craftsmanship with only the very fines American made materials.

String Construction:

  • Coated Stainless Steel Round Wound
  • Round Core
  • 37.75" Winding Ball to Taper - Fits most 34" and some 35" scale basses. 


K3™ Coating Care

 The K3™ coating on EXTRA-life strings is designed for use with standard picks and fingers. The K3™ coating can be damaged by scraping against metal. It is important that care be taken when stringing guitars and basses where the strings are passed through a metal block or bridge. Scraping can damage the coating.

DR Black Beauties

These have both audio and visual appeal. The coating keeps the "zing" for a much longer time than typical bass strings. These have become my go to strings. I can't recommend them highly enough. Get some for yourself and hear and see the difference!

Black beauties

I’ve played on strings from a lot of different venders and I always end up putting DR black beauties on my performance basses. I recently got a custom built bsss and I specifically ordered black beauties and they performed perfectly. They are my go to strings.
