Cannot be beaten

Tried many SS strings in direct comparison, eg four 'E' strings on one bass to listen . These are balanced ,tight and focussed , all muscle ,no flab.

Awesome strings

Been using these strings forever on my CIJ Fender Jazz Bass '75 Reissue upgraded with Lindy Fralin singles for a deep or punchy midrange-heavy tones for almost any genre from post-rock to pop/soul to progressive metal. Love these strings <3

Smooth and Balanced

I got those strings to even out my midrange-heavy rosewood P-bass with an SPB-4 pickup.

The tension is on the high side, which suits an aggressive playing style, although the dynamics are great on those.

I liked the smooth feeling of the string, they won't wear down your frets like certain s.steel strings do, so those who avoid stainless for that reason(including me) , fear not!

Lots of low end and beautiful detailed highs, not harsh at all. Slapping or picking sounds very balanced, almost like using a compressor. The also age very well and don't go dead.

I wish DR came out with a 'balanced tension' set like D'addario, but for the rest this is a top string. Highly recommended

Maybe the best for detuning

Since one of the bands I'm in decided to start down tuning for certain songs, I've been on a quest for a better high tension bass string. I've tried the Dunlop Heavy core string, which I like a lot, but they seem to have been discontinued.

So now the Lo Riders from DR are on my bass. I must say, I'm not disappointed. The E-string, which is always the most difficult string to get tight, feels amazing. The overall tension is great, the sound is 'growl for days', and they feel great too.

My quest for my favorite high tension bass string is not over yet, but these sound pretty good so far.

Great strings

Great strings with a fantastic tone to them. Very great playabilty and a nice long life to them. They are my main strings for one of my 4 strings and I would recommend them for everyone.
