Next Best Thing to Lo-Riders

Sign in to disble this ad
I want to get new DR Lo-Riders for my five string for my show on Friday, but nobody around here has any in stock. What set of strings would you recommend that can get kinda close to the tone of the lo-riders. I'm going for a Stefan Lessard tone (its a dmb tribute band) if that helps.

I moved to Lo Riders, because they do the same thing Bass Boomers do only better and longer. However, if I was in your position and could find Bass Boomers, that's what I would do. Hope that helps.

I've heard similar good things about Bass Boomers, but I've never tried them. I also think D'addario ProSteels will get you in the same neighborhood, but they are harder on your hands and don't last nearly as long as Lo-Riders.
