The first thing you will notice about these strings is that they go right into tune and lock in. Players say they are “so stable it is almost eerie.” Now you can stand and deliver in tune notes at lower pitch that are clean and clear. Expect more and get more. Change tunings and be surprised how DDT's lock right in. Be surprised how little adjustments you make. DDTs deliver far more than just heavy gauges. Drop with confidence, drop with accuracy. DDTs maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than any other string we have ever played or heard. Designed over a two year build and test period to answer the needs of the dark side.
From the Manufacturer
DDT™ Drop Down Tuning Bass Strings go right into tune and lock in thanks to Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT™), a coated hexagonal core wire that locks the stainless-steel wrap wire in place to increase stability and maintain intonation at any tension. Now you can deliver notes at lower pitch that are clean, clear and in tune. Change tunings and DDT's lock right in and require little to no adjustment between play.

If anyone asks what the hell is that, just tell em it's 2.6 on the Richter Scale. Like good ol'Jack Burton always says at time like this,if some cocky guitar tech tries to ask you have you strung your Bass with those DDT - DR strings and you look that guitar tech in the eyes and say, "only so I can shake the heavens" 🐷🐷🐷

These strings have the ability to be bright enough to cut the mix but also deep enough to go LOW. I would say these are value for money. The tension is even over the set and really feel good. I use these for C standard tuning and had no hesitation in buying my first medium gauge set and a further heavier gauge set for another bass I have.

I’ve used DR strings on all my bass guitars . I mostly play metal , stoner , sludge and top heavy blues . If you play in C standard or lower , I highly recommend these . The bottom string is where you will get that earth rattling you obsess over. It’s a no brainer . These ARE the best strings and they will stay tuned through you’re whole set .Currently using these on my Warwick and it sounds like thunder . Go for it !

Didn't really like these. The tone was bad and no matter how I adjusted the action, there was still major fret buzz. I like DR strings, just not these.

Un calibre bien grueso pero no están tan duras, aguas que es para que afines en D en lugar de E, son perfectas para tocar todo lo de Immortal, suenan super increíbles y dura mucho la nota después de tocada, siempre puedes ajustar el alma y afinarlo en E y suenan bien también pero están hechas para que suenen en Drop D. Estoy muy contento con ellas.

Really like the E-A-D strings, but unfortunately the G-String ripped on first tuning, was never able to play it. Returned it and got a new set of strings: same thing, G-String ripped again on first tuning. Would have loved to play all 4 strings, but with this result I have to stick to my old G-String for now and look elsewhere for a replacement. Cannot give more than 2 stars for this disappointment.

They sound awesome but I cant tell a difference in the tension when d tuning compared to other strings. I was hoping they would be more tight when tuned below B

Best strings I've ever used for C-standard tuning. Even the 45-105 set for E-standard is amazing. The very expansive midrange helps cut through guitars like a "warm" vorpal sword. That's right! I said warm and cut through! No other bass string I know can accomplish this. Not even DR's other string sets! And the growl! It's like holding on to a lions throat when he roars! I've been playing bass in metal, alternative, punk, shoegazer & prog bands since 1989. I've played strings from everyone out there. None of them can touch DR DDT strings. I've been playing them now for 3 years and I won't play anything else.

BEST DOWN TUNING STRINGS.

Delivered on time and in good shape. Used these in the studio for recording songs in drop A and drop B tunings on an old (Roadster) Ibanez long scale 4 string bass. Although much better than trying to use standard bass strings for drop tuning, I found the tone somewhat lacking. The strings also seemed a bit more 'abrasive' than the regular round wounds I'm used to. The tone was not as bright as what I would expect in a stainless string, which may not be a bad thing for most, but the fullness and bottom end seemed to be lacking on the lowest notes...at least on my set up. The tone was better in the drop B tuning, and noticeably suffered when tuning to a drop A. Tuning was a lot more stable than trying to use standard strings, and there was little time spent trying to get the strings stabilized. All in all, it does what they claim and worked well for what I needed them for.

I play in a metal band and tune down to drop C (I know, I could buy a 5-string, yada, yada, but I'm not). I've always had some problems with tension on my low string, but learned to live with it. I've been playing (110-55) for awhile now, but I saw these and had to give them a try. I even tried the (115-50) but lost all tone; sounded pretty muddy, though the tension was better.When I first put these strings on my first thought was, "Where have you been all my life?!" I mean, wow, what a difference. I have a good amount of tension, allowing me to play quads, the tone is full and thick, but bright at the same time. Gives a nice crunch when used with a pick. These cost a bit more than I'd like, but that's just fine. These strings are brilliant. Where other strings would go out of tune after awhile, or the intonation would be way off higher up on the neck, these are impressively spot-on. Nice job, DR, you've converted a long time Ernie Ball string player. And I'm even playing on an Ernie Ball bass. (Shhh, don't tell anyone)
