DR StringsBOOTZILLA SIGNATURE 6 STRING BASS MEDIUM .125 LOW B (30-125)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bootsy Collins signature 6-string bass set, .030-.125, with a low B. For 6-string players wanting a standard medium feel and a defined low end.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 6-string basses tuned B-E-A-D-G-C at standard pitch
- Players who slap and need string-to-string balance
- Replacing a worn set without changing setup much
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 4- or 5-string basses — the count will not match
- Players who prefer very light or very heavy gauges
- Anyone tuning far below B without checking scale length
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Medium gauge overall
Sits in the middle for feel. No neck relief surprises when coming from another medium set.
Detail 03
30-125 range
The .030 top C stays bright and does not feel thin under a pick or fingers.
Detail 04
6-string set
Covers both the low B and high C. Buying a 5-string set plus a single leaves you matching gauges by guess.
Detail 05
Signature set
The gauges are chosen as a balanced spread rather than assembled from separate singles.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your nut slots — gauge changes can need filing on the B
- 02Expect to retune several times as new strings stretch in
- 03Truss rod and intonation may need a tweak after the swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What gauges are in this set?
The set runs .030 to .125, with the .125 as the low B. That is a medium spread across all six strings.
02Will these fit a 35" scale bass?
Check the string length before ordering. Longer scale basses need enough winding past the nut and bridge, and not every 6-string set covers 35".
03Do I need a setup after changing?
If you are coming from the same gauges, usually not. Moving from lighter or heavier strings changes tension, so check relief and intonation.
04Are these good for slap?
The medium gauge and .125 B give even response across strings, which helps when you are moving between thumb and pop across six strings.
