    • Just incredible!
Size: 45-105 (Standard Scale 4-String)
Best bass strings I have found, hands down. When I play bass, I want to FEEL the bass, like, deep inside me. These do exactly that. So smooth, and the tone is just perfect. Tons of low end thump without being dull or muddy. And they are cheaper than most other flatwounds I have used in the past by about $10. These are my new go-to strings. Give 'em a shot. I doubt you will be disappointed. ... show more

    • DR Legend Strings make your bass versatile
Size: 45-105 (Standard Scale 4-String)
I just installed these Flatwound stings on my Left Handed Ibanez Gio200 Bass. These strings replaced the Ernie Ball 2.5 flatwounds I've had on this bass since 3/2024. The bass sounds good. I feel these strings make my bass sound more versatile just by playing with my PJ pickup controls. So far I love them. Understand that over the year and a half I've owned this used bass, I have installed Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder pickups (which I purchased on Amazon using points), replace the old bridge with a heavier one and had to replace the Tuners on this Ibanez gio200. It now sounds really good. I highly recommend these DR Legend Flatwound strings. They give my bass access to that Thump, Thump heavy bass sound I love and also allows me to make that bass sound Rock and Roll like by playing with the PJ pickup knobs. ... show more

    • Excellent Strings, Just Follow the Install Instructions
Size: 45-105 (Standard Scale 4-String)
I wanted to find forgiving flat wound strings for a back up bass with a higher action. I had half rounds on that bass. I like half rounds on a lower action. But, they felt stiff on the higher action bass. I put DR Legend FL45 45-105 on the bass and they are major improvement. Supple feel, even balanced tone. Much easier to play for my finger style. Some comments state these DR flats are like half rounds. They are not. The wrap band is wider and smoother than half rounds. Some older comments state the E string arrive “dead” and defective. I suspect that may be caused by not crimping (bending) the string before cutting excess length. The inside of the DR box states in bold letters, in 4 different spots “Prevent Dead Strings…..round core…crimp…before cutting”. Crimping before cutting is always a good preventative, even with hex core strings. I have La Bella Low Tensions on another bass. I like them. But wanted to try something different. These are similar but not quite as smooth to the touch. Not in a bad way for me. Initial playing feels great. I’m happy I tried this American made string. ... show more

    • Great flatwounds without the dull sound
Size: 45-105 (Standard Scale 4-String)
I bought these not knowing what to expect. I put them on a jazz bass of mine and it was a great match. My only complaint is how tough the strings are to play. They're playable, but they feel very stiff and hard to bend. I might just switch to LaBellas for that bass, but they're not bad for a cheaper alternative flatwound string. ... show more

    • Great Flat wound strings.
Size: 45-105 (Standard Scale 4-String)
I had read about these strings and I finally got around to trying a set on my vintage Pecision bass. I love them. They feel and sound great and the gauges are perfect for me. A lot of flatwound stings I'd tried before were either too heavy or too light but the tension of the DR Flats felt familiar and comfortable to me. They also have great flexibilty which I assume is due to the round core of each string. I found they tune up perfectly right out of the package and they stay that way. They are also the perfect length so I didn't have to cut them and risk having the wrap unravel from the core. They nail the old school vibe and tone I like and I will buy them again, although probably not until the first set is worn out and ready to fall off and that might take a while. ... show more
