No more Dunlop heavy cores

For the past 2 years I have played nothing but the Dunlop heavycores 55-120 + I'd add a random 45 for my 5 string. I placed a order at my music store to have them tell me two weeks later Dunlop has discontinued them. I'm now on a search for a similar string I play a lot of metal so something geared towards that I occasionally drop the b string to a when covering bloodbath and other bands like that.

Rotosound Swing Bass or Drop Zones? DR DDT's?
Hope this helps,

Hi there,
I've never used either unfortunately my friend.( Too heavy for me! :)) But I love Rotosound Swing Bass and several strings from DR. But honestly you cant go wrong with either company. I've attached some clips for reference...I'm sure Bass Strings Online @SLaPiNFuNK can get them for you!

I was going to suggest the DDT strings. I didn't do so to avoid TOS violations.
