DR Long Necks Tapered Core Bass Guitar Strings

DR Longnecks™ tapered bass strings are designed for modern bassists and builders who prefer a tapered string design for improved response and clarity across the instrument. The tapered construction allows the string to seat properly over the bridge saddle, helping deliver greater stability and definition in the lower registers.

These strings feature a stainless steel wrap wire over a hexagonal core, producing a bright, articulate tone with strong note separation. The single wrap wire construction at the tapered section allows the string to pass cleanly over the bridge while maintaining consistent tension and feel.

Longnecks™ are well suited for contemporary playing styles that require precision, clarity, and reliable harmonic response.
