NEON White bass guitar strings with K3 Technology. The K3 coating is the first coating that players report, "sound as good or better than uncoated strings." DR's remarkable and proprietary K3 Technology coating is the first coating that makes no apologies and no excuses for not delivering sound equal to uncoated strings. Players tell us that these strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation than standard, uncoated strings. Yet, they provide the same protection due to corrosion and perspiration as well as increased tone life that coated strings are known for.
From the Manufacturer
HI-DEF NEON™ Color Coated Bass Strings are available in a wide variety of luminescent color options designed to give your stage presence a little extra pop, especially under UV black lighting. They feature a round core wire and a silver-plated nickel-plated steel wrap. All strings include the neon colored K3™ coating, delivering longevity, more projection, fewer unwanted overtones, plus enhanced clarity and articulation.

I bought these as most people do, for the look. But they sounded so bad they only stayed on my bass for a week. The E, A and D strings were completely dead and flat sounding. The G string however had a bright loud tone. This made it so whenever I played high notes on the g string it was much louder than the other 3 strings... which had a dull thud. Sounded ridiculous.I’m not exaggerating, these are the worst sounding strings I’ve ever used. Whatever they coat the strings with to make them white must dull the tone.

A pesar de que hubo un retraso por cuestión del distribuidor, el precio fue muy bueno y llegó todo sin complicaciones, en definitiva vuelvo a comprar

Look, sound, and play great but the white coating is thin, missing in a few spots on the E string.

I'd read some good reviews (and some not so good ones) on the TB forum. Looks like the latter crowd was right. I took them off the bass after about a week. My major objection is that each string sounds different, both tonally and volume-wise, almost as if each string had come from a different brand and material and winding/construction type. For example, the G string sounds loud and full -- a good thing. But the adjacent D string sounds muffled and weak. Not dead in terms of vibration, just low in volume and, well, lifeless. Same behavior with the other two. The differences were so great, they were impossible to balance out with pickup height (P-bass style instrument). The only way I could get the four strings to sound even remotely close to consistent in terms of volume, let alone tone, was to use heavy compression, but of course that brings its own set of drawbacks to the table.I've been doing this (and sound reinforcement and audio design) for over four decades, both pro and semi-pro. I've done dozens of instrument setups and mods. So, this isn't a case of not being able to figure something out.I bought two sets of these strings, so I might try the second set to see if it's any better. If I do that, and if there's an improvement, I'll update this review.

Was hesitant when ordering because of the whole neon thing, but there very good string, they have a nice tone, very bright and clear and the white color looks great with my rosewood fretboard and black pickgaurd, I've had a lot of different strings and believe the price is high but ok for these strings due to the quality sound and feel!
