DR StringsDDT Bass Guitar Strings (DDT5-45)

Have had my 5 string Bass since 2005, I’ve had many of brands and types, These are by far the best Strings I’ve used!! I’m on my second set of them for this Bass now. ThanX!! 🤘

I don't like a mid heavy tone like what I get more with nickel plated strings, but most stainless wrapped strings just have too much "zingy" highs giving a clankiness with too luch string noise.These have way less of the super bright highs and retain clarity, deep punchy bass, and don't have those ugly mids I hate. There is a little "zingy/clanky" to them brand new, which I can get rid of with a slight adjustment with the active preamp on my bass (Norstrand pre and pickups). Doubt I will even have to do that once they are really broken in. I have set my amp closer to flat than I ever have.

I'm fixing up my old warwick corvette. Back in my touring days, I used DR DDTs exclusively. Never had a single issue. Grabbed a pack and snap, the .135 b string broke at the tuner. Strange since I hadn't even taken the slack out yet, just the slight pulling to keep it straight. No big deal. Got a second pack. Just did the exact same thing on the exact same string. If your strings are busting before they're even able to be tuned, how are these supposed to last playing? Let alone aggressive playing? Last pack I ever buy.

I tossed the G string and filed the nut on a 32" 4-string. I now have a mid scale BEAD with great tension that stays in tuned. Sweet!

I play a half step down. These sound great. The tone is there and stays at about 90% until one day the tone just dies. I prefer this l since these don't really gradually lose tone like other strings. I get about two months out of them and they sound and feel fantastic that whole time. The tension is about the same as a .130 gauge string in standard when you tune these a half step down. Perfect in my opinion. Also, follow the instructions inside the box on how to string them. They do last longer when you follow the instructions.

Nice tone, decent feel. Strings felt very flexible but not floppy.

DR is awesome all-around, and the DDR's give my 1/2-step-down Warwick Streamer the punch it needs at the lower tuning. They last months for me without going dead.

These strings do sound good, but for this kind of money, your better off with sets that are in the 22.00 dollar range.. I don't understand why String Companies are over charging Bass players for thier strings. Amazon is a very good Internet shopping site, best prices and they ship quickly... Too Bad Amazon does not make Bass Strings that are affordable and sound good for more than one show!
