Product Description

The RARE?  phosphor bronze acoustic strings are a departure from the standard bronze string currently available... possessing a new, different, and stronger "voice". When DR set out to produce a string with new characteristics, the goal was to redesign contemporary thinking about what phosphor bronze can do for a good acoustic guitar. Hand-carved arch-tops and dreadnaughts and good steel string acoustic guitars of rosewood, maple, and mahogany seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain with RARE?  phosphor strings. Players who want a fatter, louder sound, a deeper bottom... (who like to hear their guitars ring out..) will appreciate the RARE?  phosphor tone, sound, and feel. Gauges: .012; .016; .024; .032; .042; .054

DR Lo-Rider...a hit - LeRoy Wood, Aug 30, 2008

I use these on two different basses and love the tone and sustain. On my Music Man 5-string they give me that great slap sound, on my Ibanez 6 string I love the reach and sustain for bass chords and the flexibilty overall. I don't play as much or as well as a pro musician, but for me they sound great and last; which means I'm not changing them every month.

On my fretless I prefer LaBellas, they are smoother than the DR. I also have a 5 dstring with EMG pickups that I put Dean Markley's on that gives me a great driving bump for rock/country.

But my preference for those times when I am only able to take one bass and i am going to be playing a variety of styles is my Ibanez with the DR strings. I can adequately cover most any style with solid tone and sustain. I recommend you at least try them once.
