Great Bass Strings!
Size: 40-120 Set name: 5 Strings
Professional bassist, have played lots of string brands over the years - have been using various DR strings for 5 years now. These strings are great feeling, sound good on several of my P-basses. String tension is a bit looser than you would expect from a round core string - real fun for slapping. Have used these for several month long runs of Nat'l Theater Musical Tours (8 shows/week, doubling on ekec and double bass). Have not had to change strings halfway through, maintained a decent snap/brightness, etc. They do start to discolor if left unplanned for a month or two (I wipe down my strings after playing). Really like the light and med gauge, Bravo DR! ... show more

Smoothe!
Size: 50-110 Set name: 4 Strings
I waited several months before posting this review to see how these strings would age. So far, I am very pleased. I bought the DR Pure Blues strings on recommendation from my favorite guitar tech. I primarily play Jazz basses with D'Addario flats, but I keep a P-Bass with roundwounds because every bassist needs one. My current rock project calls for it quite a lot. I previously used Carvin or Ernie Ball nickel-plated strings in a lighter set, but I never felt they were very balanced. Anyway, in discussion with the tech I told him I really wanted that round, full, bluesy Berry Oakley sound from the 1970s that all the blues-rock guys had then. He suggested these DR strings, and he was correct. They are balanced and fat. I still sit very nicely in the mix with ample definition and presence, but also it seems there is less sonic clutter. For reference, I have these on a 1996 Fender American Standard Precision with the action as low as it will go without fretting out. We chose the 50-110 gauge to help get the action as low as possible. I am exclusively a finger player. With the set-up as it is, and with these strings, the neck is very fast. One thing I hate is a lot of clicky noise in my attack, and these strings tame that very well. They have a smoothe attack and a nice, even sustain. They also feel good and don't tear my fingers up like some other rounds I have used. After playing them hard for several months, they are holding up very well and sound just as lively as new. I wouldn't recommend them for slap or Jaco-style jazz, but I think they are versatile enough to fit just about anything else, especially blues, country, rock, or even metal. I hope they continue making them a long time because the DR Pure Blues is my go-to round string now. ... show more

The best.
Size: 50-110 Set name: 4 Strings
If you like thicker strings like I do, but don’t want the high tension associated with them, then these are perfect. Round core means they are more flexible and the tension is similar to standard 45-105 hex core strings. I use these on a passive Fender P bass and they sound and feel amazing. You can get any tone you want from them and they even slap well. They also last for a long long time. ... show more

good quality
Size: 40-120 Set name: 5 Strings
For the price, the row okay, certainly not my favorites. I think Dr. makes much better products than these. But they are a little less expensive than some of Dr.'s other strings. I personally prefer the colored DRS. Little smoother, little better feel

They are nice and flexible and have a nice snap to them.
Size: 40-95 Set name: 4 Strings
The sound good and are both bright yet warm sounding after that you must keep them very clean after use they corrode rather quickly and will go dull sounding after the first week if you don’t take good care of them.
