## Description

DR Strings Lo-Rider Nickel Plated Bass Medium 5 String

Review: Nice strings!!!
Review: They're high tension strings which I personally prefer, but some may like a lower tension string. I've used these on and off over the decades, depending on if I want a very bright string with lots of harmonics. A very specific sound and not versatile. For certain types of music they can have too much harmonics and can sound too metallic. It depends on what type of music that you play and based on that the strings might be great or be the wrong sound. Overall I've always appreciated the quality of these strings. The Tite-Fit makes it feel a lot smoother than the typical round wound which is a plus.

Son mi marca y modelo preferido; suenan muy claras, duran bastante, no se comen tus dedos. La caja llegó en malas condiciones pero eso lo atribuyo a la revisión del producto en la aduana.
