Can you clarify if the HI-BEAM Stainless Steel Bass Strings in 5-String Medium 45-125 X-long Scale have a tapered B string, and how does the tone and sustain compare to DR Lo-Rider stainless sets in the same gauge?

The DR HI-BEAM 5-String Medium 45-125 X-Long Scale set does not have a tapered B string; all strings are full gauge to the ball end. In terms of tone and sustain, HI-BEAM strings tend to be slightly more flexible and offer a brighter, punchier sound with excellent sustain compared to DR Lo-Riders, which have a stiffer feel and a more focused, mid-range tone.

Will the HI-BEAM Stainless Steel Bass Strings in the 5-String Medium 45-125 X-long Scale fit a 35" scale bass, and how does their flexibility compare to DR Strings of the same gauge?

Yes, the HI-BEAM Stainless Steel Bass Strings in the 5-String Medium 45-125 X-long Scale will fit a 35" scale bass. Their extra-long length is designed for extended scale instruments. In terms of feel, HI-BEAMs are known for being more flexible and easier to bend compared to many other stainless steel strings, including DR’s standard sets of the same gauge.
