The first thing you notice with DR Drop-Down Tuning Bass strings is how stable they are. DDT strings maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than other strings you may have played or heard. Players say these bass strings are so stable it is almost eerie.

Now you can "stand and deliver" in-tune notes at lower pitches that are clean and clear-plus you can drop tune with confidence and accuracy. You'll be surprised how few adjustments you'll make to change tunings and will be even more surprised how well DR Drop-Down Tuning strings lock into tune. DR

Experienced players comment: "Tuned down, I was never able to play a favorite riff. It always came out muddy and garbled. Now it is crystal clear. I am going to record it and give it to my bandmates, who could not hear it before."

DR DDT strings deliver far more than just heavy gauges-they deliver impeccable bass tone.

Heavy gauges: 55-75-95-115.

Best I've used!

My band plays in Drop C and we have been looking for strings that would give our sound better ledgeability and we found them with the DDTs! I play on a Schecter Elite - 4 and since I've put them on and tuned down about 2 weeks ago I havn't had to touch my tuners! They lock in and stay where you put them even out of the box! They also clean up the muddiness that normally comes from tuning down so low. The highs are crisp and clear and the lows are balls and defined! Would recomend them to anyone that is tuning down!!!

Core snapped on install

Installed strings, when tuning low e to tension the core snapped. GuitarCenter offered to either go into the store or send back and a replacement would be issued in upto 4 weeks. Neither were acceptable, was able to eventually arrange a replacement with line managers assistance.

    Great strings for the price. A little dark sounding but drop tuning is solid.

    These string are junk. I love other DR string but these are specifically not worth the money. I play Grunge, deth core, metal, and Death metal on a Schector 5 string. They just didnt appeal to me.

    Can these strings be tuned to standard tuning as well, or will it put to much tension on the neck?
