Drop Tuning Without Compromise: Tension, Precision, and Impact
Designed for bassists who drop their tuning without losing definition, the DDT-55 focus on a firm playing feel and clear response. Their concept goes beyond just "heavy gauge": the string remains stable, requires minimal retuning, and keeps a clean, readable low end, even when switching between multiple tunings. Thanks to ACT, the core is reinforced to promote richer tones, better precision, and increased longevity-ideal for styles demanding attack and sustain (rock, metal, drop tuning, etc.).
