DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning 5-String Heavy Bass Strings

The DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning 5-String Heavy Bass Strings, designed by DR Strings specifically for bassists who prefer lower tunings. Utilizing DR Strings' Accurate Core Technology, these stainless steel strings deliver unwavering intonation and tone for drop D, drop C, and beyond. Drop-down tuning has never been so stable and reliable.

Accurate Core Technology Locks In Tuning

DR Strings developed their proprietary Accurate Core Technology to produce bass strings that drop into tune instantly and stay locked in. The hexagonal core and calculated string tension of these heavy-gauge strings facilitate radical changes in pitch without sacrificing tone or tuning stability. Once tuned, these strings hold their pitch through heavy playing, aggressive styles, and extreme weather conditions.

Clear, Balanced Tone in Any Tuning

While some bass strings lose clarity and focus when dropped to lower tunings, the DR DDT5-55 strings maintain a clean, balanced tone across the fretboard. The hand-polished stainless steel wrap wire and precisely engineered core produce rich overtones and a wide range of harmonics. Whether performing in standard tuning or experimenting in double drop D, bassists will achieve a full, musical tone with ringing sustain and articulation.

Built to Withstand Professional Use

As part of DR Strings' DDT line, the Drop-Down Tuning 5-String Heavy Bass Strings have undergone two years of development and testing to meet the demands of professional bass players. The high-carbon steel core and stainless steel wrap wire are durable and corrosion resistant, providing a long-lasting set of strings that can handle heavy play. These bass strings are ideal for touring musicians, session bassists, and anyone who relies on their instrument for a living.
