Detail 01
Medium gauge
The default tension most 4-string basses ship with, so relief and intonation usually need little adjustment.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Colored medium-gauge 4-string bass set from DR. For players who want the string itself to be orange on stage without paying boutique prices.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage players who want visible color under lights
- Bassists on standard tuning wanting normal, familiar tension
- Anyone restringing a 4-string on a budget
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want strings to disappear visually
- 5-string basses — this set stops at four
- Anyone chasing very low tunings on light tension
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4-string set
One string per peg on a standard E-A-D-G bass. Nothing left over, nothing missing.
Detail 03
Orange colored strings
The color lives on the string, not the finish, so your instrument's look changes the moment you restring.
Detail 04
Roundwound bass set
Fretboard and fret contact is louder than a flatwound; expect finger noise when you slide.
Detail 05
$32.99 per set
Mid-range for bass strings, so trying the color is cheap relative to a pickup or preamp swap.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Strings only — no picks, tools, or winder in the pack
- 02New bass strings stretch; retune several times over the first days
- 03Recheck intonation if you are switching from a different gauge
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my 5-string bass?
No. This is a 4-string set. DR makes the same NEON Hi-Def Orange in a 5-string medium version — buy that one instead.
02Does the color come off on my fingers?
The color is part of the string's construction rather than paint applied on top, so it wears with normal playing rather than rubbing off onto your hands.
03Is medium gauge right for standard tuning?
Yes. Medium is the standard choice for E-A-D-G and matches the tension most basses are set up for from the factory.
04Do I need to adjust my bass after installing these?
If you are coming from another medium set, usually not. Coming from light or heavy, expect to recheck neck relief and intonation.
