    • These will tame the brightness without having to change pickups .
Style: Guitar Strings
I’ve used DR strings on all my bass guitars . I mostly play metal , stoner , sludge and top heavy blues . If you play in C standard or lower , I highly recommend these . The bottom string is where you will get that earth rattling you obsess over. It’s a no brainer . These ARE the best strings and they will stay tuned through you’re whole set .Currently using these on my Warwick and it sounds like thunder . Go for it ! ... show more

    • Finally, a solid set for down tuning!
Style: Guitar Strings
I play in a metal band and tune down to drop C (I know, I could buy a 5-string, yada, yada, but I'm not). I've always had some problems with tension on my low string, but learned to live with it. I've been playing Ernie Ball 2831 Nickel Wound Power Slinky Bass String Set (55 - 110) (110-55) for awhile now, but I saw these and had to give them a try. I even tried the GHS H3045 Heavy Gauge Bass Boomers Bass Strings (115-50) but lost all tone; sounded pretty muddy, though the tension was better. When I first put these strings on my first thought was, "Where have you been all my life?!" I mean, wow, what a difference. I have a good amount of tension, allowing me to play quads, the tone is full and thick, but bright at the same time. Gives a nice crunch when used with a pick. These cost a bit more than I'd like, but that's just fine. These strings are brilliant. Where other strings would go out of tune after awhile, or the intonation would be way off higher up on the neck, these are impressively spot-on. Nice job, DR, you've converted a long time Ernie Ball string player. And I'm even playing on an Ernie Ball bass. (Shhh, don't tell anyone) ... show more

    • Bend the string before you cut it. It will keep the wraps tight.
Style: Guitar Strings
Best strings I've ever used for C-standard tuning. Even the 45-105 set for E-standard is amazing. The very expansive midrange helps cut through guitars like a "warm" vorpal sword. That's right! I said warm and cut through! No other bass string I know can accomplish this. Not even DR's other string sets! And the growl! It's like holding on to a lions throat when he roars! I've been playing bass in metal, alternative, punk, shoegazer & prog bands since 1989. I've played strings from everyone out there. None of them can touch DR DDT strings. I've been playing them now for 3 years and I won't play anything else. ... show more

    • Got sold old strings when they were supposed to be a new set

Ordered hoping to get a fresh pack of strings only to open the box and find used strings and some from a different brand as well

    • Stable tuning, average tone.
Style: Guitar Strings
Delivered on time and in good shape. Used these in the studio for recording songs in drop A and drop B tunings on an old (Roadster) Ibanez long scale 4 string bass. Although much better than trying to use standard bass strings for drop tuning, I found the tone somewhat lacking. The strings also seemed a bit more 'abrasive' than the regular round wounds I'm used to. The tone was not as bright as what I would expect in a stainless string, which may not be a bad thing for most, but the fullness and bottom end seemed to be lacking on the lowest notes...at least on my set up. The tone was better in the drop B tuning, and noticeably suffered when tuning to a drop A. Tuning was a lot more stable than trying to use standard strings, and there was little time spent trying to get the strings stabilized. All in all, it does what they claim and worked well for what I needed them for. ... show more

    • Sounds great
Style: Guitar Strings
They sound awesome but I cant tell a difference in the tension when d tuning compared to other strings. I was hoping they would be more tight when tuned below B

    • Just What I Wanted
Style: Guitar Strings
This set was perfect for me; might not be for everyone. If you're considering them, ask yourself if the low B string (the 4th at 125) will seat itself fully in your bridge nut? So, if using a 'round' file on it scares you, go with a smaller gauge set. Again, wow, I love this set of strings, I prefer the lower register, and I used to buy 5 string sets for my 4 string Spector. This of course meant I had to pay extra money for a G string I'd never use. Rock on, tv ... show more

A bit stiff. Idk if there is a lighter gauge DDT available. I would like more play in the strings for bends.
