wateroftyne Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi all! Quick string ID question... DR Sunbeams / HiBeams... do they have silk winding? If so, what colour? Also.. what colour are the ball ends? Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've just installed a set of Sunbeams and they have neither silked ends or coloured balls. Nice strings though - a touch warmer and fuller sounding than Ernie Ball nickel Slinkys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No silk, and the ball ends are a gold/brass colour. Absolutely amazing strings. I've used Sunbeams as well, and they're great too. I think I just prefer the extra snap of the Hi-Beams, but I'd happily use Sunbeams as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm a fan of Hi-Beam too, I have ordered from these guys in the past - though with todays fx rate it may not be so attractive [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26353&hl=stringsandbeyond"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...tringsandbeyond[/url] P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I had some fatbeams on my Miller Jazz & they didn't have any form of coloured binding. Lovely strings, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
