DR Strings PURE BLUES Pure Nickel 4-String Bass Strings - Light (40-100)

Hand-Wound Round Core Warmth Meets Light-Gauge Flexibility

DR Strings PURE BLUES™ Pure Nickel 4-String Bass Strings combine classic vintage tone with modern string engineering. Handcrafted in Westwood, New Jersey, and featuring DR's proprietary Quantum Nickel™ wrap wire hand-wound on a traditional round core, this Light .040–.100 gauge set delivers a rich, warm fundamental tone, articulate mid-range presence, and exceptionally supple physical playability.

The round core construction allows the wrap wire to make complete contact along the entire length of the core, yielding smoother tactile response under the fingers, extended acoustic sustain, and superior dynamic sensitivity compared to rigid hex-core designs. The Quantum Nickel™ alloy provides the organic, non-harsh top-end warmth that pure nickel is famous for, while maintaining modern output, clarity, and punch.

Engineered for standard 34-inch scale 4-string electric basses, the PB-40 light gauge set is ideal for players who prefer lighter string tension, effortless bending, and fast fingerstyle or slap technique without sacrificing low-end warmth or mid-range growl. Whether tracking in the studio or performing on stage, DR Pure Blues deliver authentic tone with effortless feel.
