Some guy at GC told me that DR strings are having issues right now

[Dertygen]

They likely are ahving problems with the strings, yet mostly solved prior to consumers getting their hands on them.

In fact a few that are bad could be the ones that slipped past QC (pertaining to some of the posts on here regarding them not being good).

[Krügmeister]

I have heard this very rumor... and I run DR's on all my basses (except my 51 Ri use TI flats) I have never had a single bad string... I would rather use a bad DR string than most other strings I have tried.
MY opinion on DR strings is based upon real-world experience (just like yours) if Wal-Mart made a 99 cent set and they were awesome i would have NO PROBLEM running with them, so I have no particular brand fanboy base.
I do think thier longnecks are PERFECT for Warwicks though.

+1 as for DR goes oh well I guess I'll switch to R Cocco i've been having problem switching strings alot I go in a pattern though. DR, R Cocco, Fodera repeat.

Maybe I'm just lucky... I've always played either Rotosounds (I've seen more than a few comments on here about their quality control) and DR's... I have never had a single bad string out of the box... ever.

Imagine... GC bashing a decent vendor... Perhaps their margins are better on DiAddario?

Same here, never had a bad DR set.

Not so with La Bella BTW.

Best bass and guitar strings, no question in my mind.

When he mentioned this did he have a suggestion regarding another brand of strings?

If so, that's the company spiffing him $$$ for every set he sells.

Don't listen to people at Guitar Center, they always have an agenda or are trying to show off by feeding you ******** about some product...
