I play these through my 4 string Rick and couldn't be happier. Best strings ever!! Anyone that downtunes SHOULD use these strings and figure it out.

I play an Ibanez sr775 5 string in drop tune and have been looking for a string that has tension and tone. I've been playing dr low riders for about 5 yrs. I switched to these and found the perfect string for me. I only wish they sold them in a 45-65-85-115-135 set . Heavy top light bottom cause I tune to ADADG so i like a little lighter gauge for the high strings for slap and pop work . But the tone of my low A and D string and the speed I can carry on those string with my fingers is well worth a little extra effort .

This is my first time to try a heavier gauge string. I was trying to get a clearer "B" one my 5 string. I had to lower the action on my guitar. but the low end is really clean. But I don't care for the bigger diameter on the first 2 strings. I think if DR would leave the first 2 strings a little lighter gauge and maybe .003 to .005 heavier on the "B" string it would be perfect for the sound I'm looking for. I rate the strings 5 stars for the clarity on the low end, 2 stars on playability of the high end, all in all that tone is good, but I did have to turn the highs up a tad, and the sustain lasts forever.

I have been using D R strings for a few years now, and I think it's the BEST string on the market. I have spent the time and money on almost all the different brands available and when I started using D R strings my own personal search was over. I even had an endorsement with a company that I chose to drop because there was no comparison in quality with the D R's.
I've been playing bass for 39 years and I have developed in my playing technique a rather medium to hard attack on the strings so I prefer a heavier gauge string. The new Drop Down Tuning 5-string.055-.135 allows me to continue my right hand playing attack between any pitch I choose to tune to! And the consistent solid lows and edgy high sound quality from these makes them the best string overall I've ever played, on a live gig or in the studio.
It's been said about the music instrument/equipment industry that "They make new things new and improved everyday" and all known praise goes to the D R company for all they do to make it better and easier for players everywhere.
Keep up the excellent work.
Sincerely,
David L. Clark

I love these strings. I have always loved playing thicker gauge strings even when not playing in drop tunings because it feels better to me plus i play a bit harder than most people. Way thicker than the strings i used to use. But these are WAYYYY better. Better sounding. Better feeling. Better for all tunings. Great Product. I have officially migrated from EB strings to DR.
