    As a pick player, Pure Blues are my go-to strings now. They provide all of the additional sonic information that you get from rounds, but have a more "vintage" tones. Brighter than flats, but still not as trebly as the other rounds.

    Fat Beams are my strings, for quite some years now. Either those, or TI Jazz Flats.
    Nice video, good structure and the all-important side by side comparison at the end was really helpful

    Sounds like Fat Beams have the fullest sound without being flatwounds. Love their tone! Pure Blues sounds like the best of everything!

    What, no DR Sunbeams? Those are my strings of choice, but would love to hear how they compare to the other DR strings. Thanks for the comparison.

      I love those especially on basses that tend to be too bright or abrasive sounding. Sunbeams mellow those out nicely after they break in properly.

    I have always liked high beams and low riders for my 5 strings.

    Been using Hi Beams for a couple of years. Don't see myself changing brands for a while.

    Please do a bass habits video about 'Peter Baltes' the former bass player of 'Accept' (a metal band from Germany)

    Paul, I just bought a bass. What's the first thing I should learn?

      I'd look for a good tutorial and go for a very easy song you know and you like very much

      Coming from me, I would learn how to tune, get your bass setup, than start from the basics and get yourself a song that you resonate with deeply and leave it doesn’t matter how hard

    Great comparison video. My concern is mainly how they will sound after two weeks of playing. The Hi-Beams sound amazing picked.

      Still sound rather bright after 2 months

    DR are my favourite strings, nothing else comes close.
    Hi-Beams seem to suit me best 😊

    Do you use a special pickup in your P Bass or is it the stock one?

      Stock!

      @@PaulDelBelloYTDo you ever cover how to setup your bass? Your bass has such a juicy growl! As a fellow P player, I’d love to know how you get that without buzzing! 🤘🏼

    As someone who plays all different kinds of rock music I love Pure Blues on my Precision because I can sound however I like with minor adjustments unlike other strings where I feel like I’m “locked in” to a particular tone
    I can go from Peter Hook to Lemmy with these things at the drop of a hat 😂
    (Not to mention their unique feel on the fingers)

    Hey Paul, I have a 1978 Fender P I just put a set of Dogal flat wounds on it but I want to get more punch and I’m really liking the fat beams what would be better on the 78 the fat beams or the highbeams

      Hi Beams more attack Fat Beams more bottom depends on you, I'd get them both and see what works best

    I currently have fat beams on my p-bass I love them. May have to try the pure blues next since they sound so versatile and well rounded and I’m primarily a finger player. Hi beams just sound too trebly for my taste. Love the quality of DR.

    How do you feel about lo-riders? I usually like hi beams on my p-bass and lo riders on my jazz

      Haven't tried them yet, but I'm planning another comparison video which includes them
