  • these are the strings I've been looking for
Size: Dbq5-40 5 String Light 40-120
these are great strings; hold tuning well, excellent tone; haven't had them long enough to tell how they'll last, but they get excellent reviews for longevity; easy on the fingers for round wounds, and nice soft touch on my low action SR505 bass

  • I don't have a bass guitar but probably amazing!!!
Size: DBQ-40 Light 40-100

  • Decent.
Size: Dbq-45 Medium 45-105
I’m a huge DR string fan. Usually play Pure blues. These are good, but really couldn’t tell any difference from my normal strings, but they cost more.

  • Good price and coated for longevity
Size: DBQ-45/100 Medium Light 45-100
These are pretty decent strings. We shall see how long they last compared to Elixir sttings. Would buy again because the price is good.

  • Rough feel, DULL SOUND
Size: Dbq6-30 6 String Medium 30-125
Installed on my six string Ibanez and the strings feel very rough and sound dull. Doesn’t sound like a new string at all. I would stay away from these.
