DR Strings

[noelk27]

First strung one of my basses with DR Lo Riders earlier this year, and was sufficiently impressed that I swapped a few other basses over soon thereafter. Then, as you do, while sitting around with time on my hands, I had the crazy idea of A/B'ing Hi Beams, Lo Riders, Lo Rider Nickels and Sunbeams (all 45/65/85/105) on identical basses (Aria Pro II SB models). For me, the Lo Riders and Lo Rider Nickels felt/sounded best (although felt that I might benefit from reverting to 45/65/80/100, particularly if I were using Hi Beams). Just wondered if any other basschatters had any DR observations, particularly as to which of the sets, particularly Lo Rider or Lo Rider Nickels, they found worked best on active basses.
