DR NEON HiDef bass strings are nickel-plated round-wound strings on round cores with a bright green K3 coating that glows under UV and black light. This is a short-scale 4-string set in .045, .065, .085 and .105, with a 32-inch winding length from ball end to first taper that fits most 30-inch scale basses strung through the body. The coating is meant to last three to four times longer than uncoated strings while keeping the brightness of a fresh set. They suit players who want stage-visual strings without giving up tone; the trade-off is that coated colored strings feel and wear differently from plain nickel, and the coating can flake at heavy pick contact points.

Buyers describe the strings as looking striking and feeling good under the fingers, and several say they sound brighter than they expected from a coated set.
DR NEON HiDef Bass SuperStrings are a 4-string short scale set of coated, nickel plated round wound strings on round cores. The gauges are .045, .065, .085 and .105. They are 100% black light active, so they glow strongly under UV lighting.
The coating lasts three to four times as long as uncoated strings. The strings sound as good as or better than uncoated strings. They have a 32" winding length from ball end to first taper and fit most 30" scale basses (top load).
The K3 coating is made for use with standard picks and fingers. Scraping against metal can damage it, so take care when stringing a bass where the strings pass through a metal block or bridge.
