    • Tension is a bit higher but not an issue because the feel is soft.
Best strings i have used in along time. I thought the tension would be too high, i hate playing on stiff strings, these have a slightly higher tension but the feel and playability is great, very fluid,soft feel. The tone and punch of these lowriders really bring your bass alive. No more sunbeams for me, they are great strings but i play to many different styles in the dance band i play in, the sunbeams dont work as well for staccato licks and slap and the nites dont cut through as well..Sunbeams are the perfect fretless string or slower mellow styles but usable for everything just not as defined,punchy as Lowriders.

    • Amazing and long-lasting tone
These are my strings now. Each set has lasted me between 6 months to a year with outstanding tone and I just bought my 4th set. I play a Fender Precision Bass and these strings deliver the classic P-bass tone - from growly to tubby and warm. Excellent strings.

    • Great Tone on Fender Jazz
I had been using 'DR Pure Blues' on my MIA Jazz Bass. I found them to be a little 'zingy' as other have mentioned. Tried these Lo-Riders based upon reviews and really prefer the tone. Suits my ears on the Jazz Bass and now my go to string. Recommended IMHO.

    • My favorite Jazz bass string!
I love these strings! I tend to be very finicky about every detail of my basses, so I have done a lot of experimentation with strings, and have never found a string type that sounds as good on my Fender Jazz bass as these DR Nickel Lo Riders. The nickel plating feels SO nice under my fingers that it makes playing a pleasure. With a band or even just jamming to recordings, the way they blend into the mix sounds perfect. One caveat - if you prefer a really a bright tone, these might not be for you. I haven't tried the stainless version of these strings yet so I can't say for sure, but they would probably be brighter from what I've read. But the feel of these nickels is so nice, I don't even want to think about trying anything else. They also mellow very quickly which I also like. ... show more

    • These strings are perfect if your transitioning from flats or cant stand the ...
Ive had flats on my P bass and pressuewounds on my J bass for the last few years, however recently Ive been moving more towards rounds for live shows. These strings are perfect if your transitioning from flats or cant stand the annoying zing and harsh highs of most rounds(like I do). In addition, with a hex core the strings have a higher tension than other rounds, this allows you to set the action very low and helps when your used to stiff bridge cable flats. They are of course a bit bright out of the box, as most strings are, but after a week or so they settle in nicely, and have a great low-mid bump thats perfect for passive Fenders. Also, the winding is a bit compressed so they feel much smoother that most rounds and dont chew up the frets nearly as much. Ive gone through most brands when searching for the right rounds, and these are my current favorites, the price, quality, tone and tension are just right. ... show more

    • Best nickel strings out there!
I have been using these nickel Lo Riders for a long time on a bunch of different basses and they always seem to be able to cut through the mix whether it be a modded jazz bass or a Spector with an active circuit. These strings are wildly popular for a reason, they provide the perfect mix of mids and highs most players look for in a string and sound fuller and last alot longer than the D'Addarios and ER slinkys I have tried. These strings make fingerstyle more enjoyable, they are smooth and very touch sensitive. I liked these so much that I started to buy them more than my beloved Hi Beams for my active bass because of the rounder sound and less harsh highs. There are very few bad revies for these DR's on the web and DR is always a quality brand. I may try the steel Lo Riders soon on my 5'er to compare the sound difference. Amazon has the best prices on bass strings as well as Prime shipping, so buying these is a no brainer. ... show more
