Designed in collaboration with funk legend Bootsy Collins, DR BOOTZILLAS™ bass strings deliver the unmistakable punch, clarity, and attitude behind one of the most recognizable bass tones ever recorded. Built using DR’s handcrafted string process, these strings combine stainless steel brightness with advanced coating technology for extended performance life.
A bold, articulate bass string built for players who want powerful attack, long life, and unmistakable groove authority.
BOOTZILLAS™ feature a stainless steel wrap wire treated with DR’s proprietary K3™ coating, creating a protective barrier against perspiration, dirt, humidity, and hand acids — the primary causes of tone loss and corrosion. The result is longer-lasting tone without sacrificing feel or response.
Wound on a hexagonal core wire, these strings provide slightly increased stiffness for excellent tuning stability and highly accurate harmonics, while maintaining the “crunchy,” cutting tone associated with Bootsy’s signature sound. The balanced brightness helps bass lines stay present and defined, even in dense band mixes.
