These do the job!
I bought these to tune my American Elite Precision down to DGCF, and they're really great. They were stable almost immediately and sound perfect for me. Nice and bright, but not harsh. Tension feels right too. I've also tuned them down to BEAD to see what they were like. They were still very stable and sounded pretty good, but the tension is obviously not there. But for DGCF, really, you can't go wrong.

Well done DR!
I recently bought this set, plus a single .135 B string, for my 35" scale 5er. I tune G#C#G#C#F#. I normally used Hi-Beams before, and these strings have a very similar feel and sound. The low G# was my main concern, and there is a noticeable difference in that strings clarity. Tuned that low, of course I can't expect a tight piano sound hahaha, but these strings definitely help. I normally used a .130, so the string size difference is negligible. There really is something to these strings, no gimmick. If you tune down and are looking for a little more clarity, give these a try!

Playing blues 1/2 step down tuning.
Strings hold tuning well, have a full sound, consistent output string to string. Intonation holds after adjusting. Not as bright as High Beams. Tension is good, not floppy on 4 string Jazz Bass.
