Get to know them!

As founder Mark Dronge says, each and every DR string is the result of a truly hands-on design and human contact. Since 1989, DR has been blending the best of old-fashioned handmade craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials for string coatings. That commitment to handmade quality is what has brought numerous world-class bassists and guitarists to use only DR strings — from Victor Wooten to Phish's Trey Anastasio — and numerous other artists across musical genres. All of them have come to love the reliable tone — acoustic or electric — you can expect in the handcrafted strings from DR.

Quality tone and durability

With the DR Black Beauties bass strings, you'll snag the signature crisp tone, clarity, and volume of DR's traditional handmade strings. Yet you'll get the added bonus of DR's super-thin coating on the plain strings and on the wrap wire, which extends the life of your favorite strings. And just as the name suggests, DR Black Beauties sport a stealth-style black coating. Bass players here at Sweetwater trust the quality and consistency of DR Black Beauties and know you will too.

DR Strings Black Beauties Bass Strings Features:

  • Handmade with black polymer coating for long life and great tone
  • 5-string set at medium gauge: .040, .060, .080, .100, .120

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
