DR Strings

collapse expand iconDescription

Lo-Rider stainless steel electric bass guitar strings are round wound and constructed upon a hexagonal core. They provide more depth of tone, and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams. Bass layers who are into slapping, popping, and tapping will love the high end and depth of Lo-Rider. The slight bit of stiffness makes Lo-Rider bass guitar strings very accurate when laying harmonics. Great consistency, and great string-to-string balance are DR hallmark.

Deep, Resonant .130" Low B String

The highlight of the Lo Rider MH5 130 set is its .130" low B string, which produces a full, resonant tone with piano like depth. The heavy gage also provides stable tuning and reduces unwanted buzzing on the lowest notes. For 5 string bassists seeking a powerful low end, the .130" B string delivers.

Even Tension and Flexible, Long Lasting Construction

DR Strings are made in the USA using high quality materials for a flexible feel and long life. The Lo Rider MH5 130 set is made of nickel plated steel hexagonal cores and stainless steel wrap wire for corrosion resistance, even tension and a smooth playing experience. DR's special core to wrap ratio creates an evenly balanced tension across all strings for comfortable playability.

    I read a few reviews on the strings regarding tone, harmonics, and the highs and lows. Everything was on point. I play a 5 string active Samick with a rosewood fingerboard, maple neck, and P&J configuration. The strings gave my bass a great clarity!

    I've been using DR Lowriders for about 8 years now, and I probably won't stop using them until I'm dead, have lost both hands, or they stop making them. The tone is spectacular: crispy high ends, delicate midrange, and growling low end. The low B string stays tight, and doesn't lose it's feel or tone. The strings are stiff right out of the box, and a little grippy on the fretting hand until you get used to them. Perfect for just about any sound, unless you're going for a dull, toneless bass. Highly recommended for skilled players.
