Earlier this year I purchased my first 5-string bass and was disappointed with the loose tension of the floppy B string, I purchased these strings because I thought since they were designed for drop down tuning that they would provide better tension on the B string. And they did just that. Perhaps not as much as I would prefer, but they did out perform the stock string set by far. The WOW factor for me was the tone that the DRs produce right out of the package. Being a Classic rocker, these strings produce that bottom end that is so prevalent in that genre. I was so impressed with the tone that these have become my preferred string set for my 4-string P-bass (the 4-string set of course). If you are looking for a good bottom end tone, give these DRs a try.

In 25 years as a bass player and almost that long working in music sales, I've never been as happy with a string as with the DDT's. They lock into tune quickly, keep in tune very well, and last a long time. I've played just about every other string out there, including many others from DR. There's just something about these DDT's that is special. Let's hope they don't change the secret formula! (Oh, and I don't use them "Dropped Down." Just in standard tuning. They rock!)

I have been using DDTs for years; they are my favorite strings. I use a hipshot detuner on my low-B;the string maintains its altered tuning time after time.
