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. The neon K3 coating is only on the wrap wire, which maintains the brightness of the string while extending its life. Featuring a luminescent coating that pops under UV black lighting, a flexible round core wire, and a durable silver-plated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, these strings deliver the longevity, projection, and enhanced clarity and articulation you need.

While Neons last as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better, than uncoated strings.Their round core construction with nickel plated steel wrap wire produce warmth, a soft feel and increased response to pickups due to their increased magnetic content. They offer the combination of brightness, warmth and flexibility desired by fretless bass players and those looking for a traditional sound.

The tone is also great, they may not have so much 'twang' to them as other new strings, but that wasnt what i was after.At DR Handmade Strings we always combine old fashioned craftsmanship with only the very finest American made materials. Wound on a hexagonal core wire, the strings product the distinct “crunchy” tone for which the interplanetary funkmaster is known.

BOOTZILLAS™ Bass Strings, the signature strings of the legendary Bootsy Collins, use a unique stainless steel wrap wire clear coated with DR’s proprietary K3™ coating that extends life by protecting against damaging substances like perspiration, dirt, humidity and hand acids.

The A-string is a bit weak in the deep frets , and I can say here is that it definitely is not on bass, since I do not have the problem with other strings. Super bright in daylight, and under stage lighting, DR’s NEON™ strings are so bright in appearance they look like they are on fire. HI-BEAM™ Bass Strings blend a stainless steel wrap wire wound on a round core to produce great flexibility and musicality without harsh brightness. She adores the colours and it's given the old stick à bit of crunch which is what it was definitely missing.The K3 coating provides all the benefits of coated strings without sacrificing sound quality, making them a favourite amongst top artists such as Zuri Appleby (Lizzo) and Fieldy (Korn). While NEON lasts as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better than uncoated strings. I've had those for about 4 months now and my D string is dying fast, it stopped producing sound on some frets and this is not a problem coming from my bass guitar. These strings have quite a high tension, I usually use daddario EXL170's, but noticed the action was a lot higher with these strings on. DDTs maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than any other string we have ever played or heard.
