The first thing you will notice about these strings is that they go right into tune and lock in. Players say they are “so stable it is almost eerie.” Now you can stand and deliver in tune notes at lower pitch that are clean and clear. Expect more and get more. Change tunings and be surprised how DDT's lock right in. Be surprised how little adjustments you make. DDTs deliver far more than just heavy gauges. Drop with confidence, drop with accuracy. DDTs maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than any other string we have ever played or heard. Designed over a two year build and test period to answer the needs of the dark side.
From the Manufacturer
DDT™ Drop Down Tuning Bass Strings go right into tune and lock in thanks to Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT™), a coated hexagonal core wire that locks the stainless-steel wrap wire in place to increase stability and maintain intonation at any tension. Now you can deliver notes at lower pitch that are clean, clear and in tune. Change tunings and DDT's lock right in and require little to no adjustment between play.

Bought the .045 to use on my bass tuned to D standard(35" 5 strings) and I was scared that the strings would be too loose or too tight, specially because I play with fingers and my main genre is Death metal and I usually need to play faster riffs but they absolutely nailed it! Great tone and great durability so far, absolutely worth the price and will buy again for sure.

I tossed the G string and filed the nut on a 32" 4-string. I now have a mid scale BEAD with great tension that stays in tuned. Sweet!

I bought these based on a recommendation from a reputable source as it was time to change my strings out. My ESP LTD TA-204 FRX played beautifully and had no buzzing anywhere on the neck. Maybe I just got a bad batch? But now it's hard to find a place that doesn't have an awful buzzing sound. Think I'll be going back to D'Addario.

somehow, no matter what adjustments i make, these are the most fret buzzing strings i’ve ever used.tone wise, lots of clank and enough thump, no mids.

I purchased a fretless custom made bass guitar. I wanted to tune it B-E-A-D from standard tuning. Apparently these are supposed to be good strings for that.They are , and I recommend them

I don't like a mid heavy tone like what I get more with nickel plated strings, but most stainless wrapped strings just have too much "zingy" highs giving a clankiness with too luch string noise.These have way less of the super bright highs and retain clarity, deep punchy bass, and don't have those ugly mids I hate. There is a little "zingy/clanky" to them brand new, which I can get rid of with a slight adjustment with the active preamp on my bass (Norstrand pre and pickups). Doubt I will even have to do that once they are really broken in. I have set my amp closer to flat than I ever have.

Prese per provarle e il mio amico bassista si trova super bene. Siamo accordati in semi tono sotto più il drop in C#...a strumento intonato,tengono bene.

I'd buy another set and they really hold the tuning.

I play a half step down. These sound great. The tone is there and stays at about 90% until one day the tone just dies. I prefer this l since these don't really gradually lose tone like other strings. I get about two months out of them and they sound and feel fantastic that whole time. The tension is about the same as a .130 gauge string in standard when you tune these a half step down. Perfect in my opinion. Also, follow the instructions inside the box on how to string them. They do last longer when you follow the instructions.

Love DR strings. The DDT series seem to hold true to their intended purpose. I tune to C# standard and find these to be a great fit. Although I enjoy trying new strings, I always come back to or have sets of DR's on hand for my bass. Good stuff.
