Victor Wooten, a five-time Grammy Award winner and one of the most influential bassists of all time, began playing music at the age of two and was touring with his brothers by age six, opening shows for Curtis Mayfield. Rising to global recognition as a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones in 1990, Wooten has since become a celebrated artist, teacher, author, and the only bassist to win Bass Player Magazine’s “Bassist of the Year” award three times. His playing style is defined by unmatched versatility, warmth, and articulation—qualities that are captured perfectly in his signature strings.

The DR Pure Blues PBVW-40 Victor Wooten Signature Bass Strings deliver the same expressive range that defines Wooten’s tone. Built with Quantum Nickel wrap wire on a round steel core, they combine the warmth of pure nickel with the brightness and edge of stainless steel for a rich, balanced sound. These strings are flexible, durable, and smooth to play, making them ideal for fingerstyle grooves, dynamic slap techniques, or precise pick work.

With deep lows, colorful mids, and bright articulate highs, the PBVW-40 set brings out the full voice of your bass while maintaining comfort and playability. Designed in collaboration with Victor Wooten and crafted in the USA, they’re built for players who want their strings to respond with the same musicality and expression as the legend himself.
