D'Addario Electric Bass Strings , 1set

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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

Q: 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).
