DR Strings MH545 Lo-Rider 5-String Electric Bass Strings (Medium, 45-125)

Lo-Rider stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a hexagonal core. They provide more depth of tone, and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams. Bass players who are into slapping, popping, and tapping will love the high end and depth of Lo-Riders. The slight bit of stiffness makes Lo-Rider bass strings very accurate when playing harmonics. Great consistency, and great string-to-string balance are DR hallmarks. Fits scale lengths up to 37 3/4". Learn More...

Feature:
I always had great experience with Hi-Beams keeping their sound for long time & and keeping a good feel. Good materials & craftsmanship.

Quality:
Good materials & craftsmanship.

Value:
You can spend less on strings,but you'll be replacing cheap strings before you know it,they'll sound dead after a few gigs. These last 3 or 4 times longer than most brands I've tried.

Desirability:
They make your bass stand out in the mix !!

Sound:
These are great sounding strings.I use to always use the Hi-Beams but did a little research on Lo-Riders & decided to put a set on my 99' Fender active Jazz. It gives the bass a whole new sound,the J-bass growl with these strings is awesome. The low B is tight & deep,even though my Fender is a 34" not 35" like a lot of 5 strings.

Ease of Use:
pretty easy on the fingers

Support:
never needed them

Overall:
I've used DR string for several years & have a set of them on 5 out of my 6 basses.This my 1st set of Lo-Riders and I'm very please with their sound,we'll see if they last as long as the H-Beams. They are the best strings I've ever use & turned some guitarist on to DR as well.
