A set of strings for acoustic bass with a drawbar size of 42-92 indicates the size of the strings of the bass. The drawbar is the amount of tension exerted on the strings when you tune them to the desired pitch. The higher the tension, the greater the tension, which can affect the feel and response of the instrument.

In the case of a set of 42-92 gauge acoustic bass strings, this means that the thinnest string (the G string) is 0.042 inches thick (about 1.07 mm), while the thickest string (the E string) is 0.092 inches thick (about 2.34 mm). This gives a difference in diameter of 0.050 inches (about 1.27 mm) between the thinner and thicker strings.

The choice of a set of bass strings will depend on your personal preferences in terms of playing feel and tone. A higher draw string set (e.g., 45-100 or 50-105) may give a greater tension and brighter tonal response, while a lower draw string set (e.g., 40-95 or 35-90) may give a softer playing feel and a warmer, rounder tonal response.
