DR revolutionized my tone

I recently bought a set of DR Lo-Riders to replace the D'addarios that i had on my EBMM Bongo-5. The switch from nickel to stainless is amazing! my bass sounds so tight now and i have flattened out the eq to let those babies shine, so if you are looking for a great set of strings id give these a try

Been using SS since the first time I tried them. SS is a good.

I went back to DR Lo Rider on my warwick after trying different strings. They sound so much better, nice low and clear high.

Agreed. My local shop ran out of the Ernie's I had been using for years. I'm friends with the owner. He said since he had "let me down" he would sell me a set of the DR LR's for the same "deal" he had always given me on the others. I wasn't very excited but I needed strings. So by accident I fell into the really nice strings.

I first tried Lo-Riders on a EBMM Bongo about 2 years ago. My search for the perfect roundwound tone was over. I love everything about them; the feel, the sound, & the durability are all fantastic. I've used them on all my basses since then (except for the Fender, which I string with flats). Lo-Riders are the best!

I used the GHS BASSBOOMERS for years on my Mockingbird. I decided to try the DR lo-raiders, and now wait is there other string manufactures, DR string are the best string I ever used.
