Would the Medium gauge be good for drop D?

Yeah, I'd think so but I wouldn't go below drop D with the 105 gauge string.

Do these strings have a real bright tone? I am playing praise and worship music and not sure I want that real bright tone.

If you want to avoid any bright tone, then consider taped, flat finish strings that are designed to reduce string and fret noise. Your pick ups and playing style will also affect your tone. These are middle of the road for nickel wound strings.

Is this a decent guage for drop b on a bass?

been using EXL-170 for years with drop B and D tuning 4 string - fender P bass no buzz super clear

How are the mediums compared to lights, i am looking at these for my first string change and i don't know what i have now. Is there a big difference?

Not really a big difference. The most common gauge is 45-65-85-105 (Custom Light). If you like a bit more stiffness in your G and D strings, go with Medium. If you like a little looser E and A, go with Light. If you don't care one way or the other, just go with Custom Light.Mind you, again, it's not a huge difference. It's subtle. I like my E and A a little softer so it's easier to dig in, so I buy Lights (45 65 80 100).

品質が…

可もなく不可もなく、標準的。ただ、4弦がダメになるのが早かった。品質のバラつきは仕方無いにしても、もう少しちゃんと作って欲しい。

great strings but....

The strings were great, but the vendor used the code inside so we were unable to submit for the play points. Contacted D'addario and they credited us the points and admonished the vendor.

Excellent Strings

I've been a long time user of D'Addario guitar strings and will continue to be. These felt and sounded terrific as soon as I put them on my bass. One of the things I like most about D'Aaddario strings is that they last a long time. And even though I mostly play 6 string lead guitar, and I do a lot of aggressive string bending, they have not broken on me either. That's less of a problem/concern for bass playing but it says a lot about the quality and reliabilty of D'Addario products. If this sounds like an ad, I guess I can't help that--I really call it as it is.

Magníficas cuerdas

Las tengo puestas desde el 19 de octubre a Squier Affinity Jazz Bass de 5 cuerdas y decir que me encantan. Tienen sonido profundo y a la vez equilibrado. No se cuento tiempo durarán, pero comentaros que los dedos se deslizan por el diapasón casi como si no tuvieran trastes, muy suaves; vaya una maravilla. Las recomiendo.

Très bonnes cordes

Cordes au son bien brillant et défini. Elles sont de plus très agréables à jouer. Le petit plus : bonne résistance à l'oxydation !
