Rotosound on Alembic?

[s_wood]

Funny you should mention the DR's...I have been using Hi-Beams on my Series basses for awhile.  I like them.  Recently, I tried a set of DR Marcus Miller Fat-Beams, and I really love them.  They are slightly less bright than the regular Hi-Beams, and a little warmer sounding, too.  They really seem to match up weel with my Series electronics, which sure don't need help from a string to sound bright .
 
As compared to Rotosounds, Hi-Beams and Fat Beams last A LOT longer...they sound almost new for a month at least.  I really like Alembic CX strings, but they just don't hold their good tone as long as the DR's.  
 
 
YMMV, of course.

I dicovered DR's a couple of years ago by buying all the stock that a music store in town had that they could'nt sell.DR low beams 50 - 110.Big strings for sure but they sounded unbelieveable on my 84' Epic.Now I won't play anything else.They last forever but I still buy them 5 sets at a time from juststrings.com.The only place I can find 50-110 low beams.Nobody in town here carries them.
