    My experience with bassstringsonline.com

    I jsut spoke with our rep who handles your part of Canada...they have no recollection of hearing about your issue. Cutting to the chase, email me [email protected] so we can figure out what's going on.

    Great DR customer service experience

    And to all of you TB'ers, thanks for your patronage and support. We do listen and do appreciate the kind words we read online, or hear in fone calls to the office, or get to listen to in person at guitar shows and events throughout the US.

    Great DR customer service experience

    Black Lake Without knowing all the details as to what set, where you bought them, what time of year you were promised a replacement, nor who you spoke with, I cannot give you a concrete response as to the lengthy replacement time. We at DR Strings are usually quick to respond and process an...

    Great DR customer service experience

    Hi All... Itzs, being you are located in a sales territory outside of the US/Canada, we have a different procedure for addressing customer queries. So sorry for the delay in response, and I personally will be happy to correct the issue you've had with the D string. Contact me via email...

    I like the sound of Lo-Riders but they are too tight

    ANY combination of gauges you are interested in can be made into a custom set just for you. Just pick your favorite retailer and let em know what you'd like..we do have strings for that combination in both Lo Rider and Hi Beams.

    Dr String scale sizes?

    Odd since ALL our strings except our Short Scale (32") and Extra Longs(LMR-45 40") should be wound to the same length. 37 3/4".

    Absolutely fantastic...that goes above and beyond the call of duty. :) Supercedes a VERY well known bassist I've been told who now wants to get a P Bass to match our HiDef Green NEONs...way to go!

    Buying 5 string sets with high C

    Seeing as how folks are jumping in letting y'all know what THEY offer, I figured we'd do the same. Any number of strings we offer in our catalog can be configured into a 'custom' gauged set for you..it's just a matter of choosing from which store/online service you wish to give your business...

    Mediocre DR Strings Experience

    New DR neon strings

    Eventually we will have various other gauge and string configurations. For now, medium 5's will have to suffice until we catch up with OVERWHELMING demand for our new NEONs.

    DR DDT Bass Strings

    Just so you are all aware, we've listened to your input and have adjusted the winding length of our B strings to accomodate the 34" scale length. We have SLIGHTLY reduced the winding length (1/4 ") so that it's just a hair shorter, thus allowing for ease of installation without having to wrap...

    Light Gauge Strings

    FWIW, you can ALWAYS make any kind of set from us using any available gauges listed on our website in the series you are looking for, even as light as a 30-90 or piccolo set. Ask you local retailer, or contact us directly. We also have some sizes not listed in our regular packaged sets, and have...

    New DR neon strings

    This is one of the reasons why we issued press releases on both K3 and the new NEON Series. Our aim was to educate customers on the difference between what we used to use versus what we now apply on our color coated string line. We also have discontinued the Peacock Blue, Mellow Yellow...

    Hey Joe..did you ever contact us to get a replacement string so you can try them out for yourself? Sorry for the breakage issue...I'd have to look at the string and bass to really decide what the issue is..but to save $$, time and hassle, email me your address for a replacement. Thanks Anthony...

    Jaco and R. Cocco strings

    Actually Richard has happily been playing our Sunbeam Bass strings for a few years now, in a custom gauged set of 40-12o...not sure if he uses some other type as well.

    DR Hi Beam Flatwounds

    We put a disclaimer in every round core set giving instructions as to how and why you should crimp at least 45 degrees before cutting the string.

    This is the second time in one year.

    So sorry to hear about your bad luck. Did you get them from the same retailer? Please PM me your address and I'll be happy to get you a COMPLETE set direct from the factory. Sincerely, Anthony DR Strings

    DR Hi Beam Flatwounds

    Hey there...I just took a look at the silk issue in the factory, and measured the length on every bass we have here..none of the saddles had any contact with the silk windings, so I'm not sure what kind of bridge you are using that would give you that problem. As far as the tone of the strings...

    Dunlop Strings...

    I'm not sure where you get your information from, but Dunlop brand strings are made on machines that Dunlop has acquired from whichever source they get their machinery from. We don't have any 'ex' DR machines that I know of.

    Disappointed with DR Jonas Hellborg Strings

    Hello all. After speaking with Jonas this past weekend here at DR, and fielding questions about the need for an alternative for smaller tuners, we have adjusted the winding length, and all the sets now offer an 'exposed core' at the end of the string, at 37 3/4" length. The 'taper' is now at...

    DR with Warwick

    A 'Tapered' string is one where the winding from the ball end is smaller in diameter than the rest of the string length to allow less mass across the bridge. Some basses/ bridges work better with this style of string construction due to either a sharp angle or other tonal influences. Our taper...

    DR with Warwick

    Hey all...we have recommended quite frequently using the LONG NECKS on 5 strings Warwicks as the tapered end will work nicely with their types of bridge set-ups. Or if you wish, you could custom order a regular HI BEAM or LO RIDER 4 string with a tapered B. Many US retailers order them from us...

    185? yikes! you could special order any custom gague set of DR's from your local retailer, try MUGG in Goteborg- Bruce is the man. We have tossed around going heavier than a 135, perhaps 145 or 150...but only if the demand is high.
