How Low Can You Go?

Since 1989, DR has been committed to crafting hand made, superb-quality instrument strings. By blending the best of old-fashioned handmade craftsmanship with cutting edge materials or string coatings, DR continues to push the boundaries of the string-making process. That commitment to quality is what has brought countless top-flight bassists and guitarists to string-up with DRs - from U2's Adam Clayton to Phish's Trey Anastasio and everywhere outside and in between. For reliable tone - acoustic or electric - you can rely on the handcrafted strings from DR.

DR's DDT strings let you go as low as you want to go - and they stay in tune beautifully! Even if you change tunings, the DDT strings just lock in and stay where you put them!

Only strings to use

I used to use DR lo Riders, then DR Hi Beams, but every time i dropped even to Drop D, the low string felt very loose on my 34" scale bass. With the DDT, i can go down to B standard on a 4 string set (even lower with the 5) and my tension feels the same as standard tuning.
This is the only strings i use and have used on both my German Warwick basses.

Lovely Set of Strings for Bass

If you love low ends and play on drop tunings these are the perfect set of strings that your bass should have. Sounds perfect with whole step down tunings too, they do not rumble unless you hit really hard.
Also, my bass tone has changed a lot due to these strings, gives nice round bottom end sound. If you string them properly, tuning does run down at all. I personally love DR strings, ordered my 2nd set already.

luke warm

I didn't really notice a difference between these strings and the high beams I usually get. We tune down a full step, and these didn't help with tension or feel to me. They also went dead faster then my high beams unless it was just a bad batch. Still love DR's anyway.
