String Construction:

  • Coated Stainless Steel Round Wound
  • Round Core
  • 32" Winding Ball to Taper - Fits most 30" Scale Top Loaded 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.

Better than expected !

My first time using any DR bass strings .They feel and sound great , better than i expected. Just a great tone with a good bottom . Even with this medium lite gauge my drop D is not sloppy . I hade the sane gauge on prior with Fender strings and I honestly could not drop the E to D , just not playable . I’m more than satisfied with these on my small scale beater bass .

DR Black Beauties

I’ve been a fan of the DR colored bass strings for a number of years now. I have them on my favorite bass guitars. I think they sound very good and I usually get positive comments on how great they look!!! On my ‘71 vintage US Fender Precision, I have the Red, White & Blue strings; on my other basses, I try to match the string colors with that of the guitar. I hope to purchase more of these color-coated type of strings, short or long scale, in the future. Thanks, Fret Nation, for making these available (on sale, too).

Glad I found these here on Fret Nation!

It's hard to find short scale strings in Black, but Fret Nation comes through! These are perfect for my "blacked-out" Squier Jaguar short-scale bass. All the hardware is black, so I went on a quest for black short scale strings. I ended up searching a well known bass thread and found them! Not only do they fit proper, they sound excellent! Glad I didn't have to go with black nylon strings on this beast!
