  • Nice sounding strings
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
These work for me on my Reverend Mercalli V. Sound great.

  • Great for light guage strings
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
These strings sound and play well. The only thing that is a bit frustrating is that the b string is not tappered so it does not fit on my warwick very well (which is really more of a warwick issue.) So if you have a warwick I would skip them unless you don't mine filing down your nut a bit to fit the string. ... show more

  • Takes some time to get stretched out to stay in tune
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
Might be my fault, did not find that they have stayed in tune well. Possibly just haven't played them and retuned them enough - yet. Pros: - affordable price - easy to string up (long neck Dean EABC electro-acoustic bass) - Nice sound (part strings, part bass) - Color coding definitelt helps get the right string in the right place. Cons: - Other than not staying in tune right away, none. Most likely lack of practicing on my part... ... show more

  • BUY THEM.
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
The round core Hi-beams were a little too floppy for me, these hex core Lo-riders are very fast and precise and the sustain is impressive. Very bright and don’t dull out fast. Probably about 3 months of “new string tone” and then even afterwards still sound great. I pull and pop very aggressively and have never busted a string. They are strong. ... show more

  • Strings are TOO LONG!
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
I have a standard 37" long scale bass and theses strings are way too long. You'll have to wrap 1" of the string past the lead around the tuning peg. DR rep told me their strings are for 39" scale basses. I wish they would have put that bit of info on the packaging! Since the B-string is impossible to string because of its thickness these strings are unusable ... show more

  • Best sounding bass strings
Style: LO-RIDER™: 5-String Light 40-120
I have tried many brands of bass strings over the years and these sound the best and stay sounding great for a long time. I clean mine occasionally with GHS Fast Fret (another great product) which helps them last longer and keeps them sounding great. The only drawback is the price, they are NOT cheap! DR makes many different styles of strings and I haven't had any duds yet. ... show more
