"The same philosophy which characterizes Heartfield guitars also guided the creation of out DR line of high tech bass instruments.

Technological leadership combined with old world craftmanship. Here the craftsman's skill gracefully marries exotic woods with sophisticated electronic circuitry.

For example, the bolt-on maple necks of the DR-4, DR-5, and DR-6 are reinforced with graphite to eliminate dead spots and increase sustain. The graphite is extended to cover the head stocks to promote better sustain and tonal balance.

Two high-output, single coil pickups power the DR basses. And a pickup pan pot lets you mix and blend each pickup with the other.

The DR series also features sweep switches and on/off frequency sweep controls. And with the direct out low impedance jack, you can plug directly into a P.A. system or mixing board to insure a clean, pure amplified sound.

Specially-designed heavy-duty bridges also increase sustain. And the slim, smooth necks are outfitted with deluxe sealed tuning machines."
