DR Strings 45-125 DBS-45 Dragon Skin+ Coated Stainless Steel Bass 5 Strings

DR Strings DBS5-45 Dragon Skin+ Coated Stainless Steel Bass Strings – 45-125 Medium 5-String Set

Sound Huge. Play Easy. Endure Everything. The Next Generation of Bass String Technology.

DR Strings Dragon Skin+ bass strings sound huge, are easy to play, and have outstanding endurance. Dragon Skin+ upgrades both the core and the wrap wires to be exceptionally musical, balanced, and loud. Accurate Core Technology™ creates grooves on the core to cradle the wrap wire, allowing the strings to ring out to their full potential. Designed to feel and sound better, Dragon Skin+ is unlike anything out there. The difference is real.

Accurate Core Technology™ – The Secret to Dragon Skin+'s Massive Tone

At the heart of Dragon Skin+ is DR's proprietary Accurate Core Technology™. This innovative process creates locking grooves on the core wire that cradle the wrap wire, ensuring a perfect fit and allowing the strings to ring out to their full potential. The result is superior tone, projection, and tuning stability—a sound that is huge, articulate, and full of life. Whether you're playing deep grooves, melodic lines, or aggressive slap passages, Dragon Skin+ delivers.

Upgraded Core and Wrap Wires – Exceptionally Musical and Loud

Dragon Skin+ upgrades both the core and the wrap wires to be exceptionally musical, balanced, and loud. This isn't just a minor tweak—it's a complete rethinking of what a bass string can be. The upgraded materials and construction deliver a tone that is rich, powerful, and incredibly responsive, with outstanding endurance that keeps you playing longer between string changes.

Coated Stainless Steel Wrap Wire – Maximum Output and Extra-Long Life

The stainless steel wrap is specifically chosen for its ability to deliver maximum output and brightness, making these strings ideal for players who demand clarity and projection. A micro-thin coating on the wrap wire provides great resonance and extra-long life. This hard, ultra-thin coating tightens the string surface, achieving a sound that surpasses that of uncoated strings while protecting against corrosion and moisture.

Multiscale Design – Tapered for Optimal Performance

The DBS5-45 features a tapered design on the B, E, and A strings, optimized for B strings up to 37" scale. This tapered construction reduces the mass at the end of the string, which contributes to improved tuning stability and easier playability. Whether you're playing a fan-fret instrument or a traditional multiscale bass, Dragon Skin+ strings are engineered to fit and perform perfectly.

Easy to Play, Outstanding Endurance

Dragon Skin+ strings are designed to feel and sound better. They are easy to play, with a smooth, comfortable feel that reduces fatigue during long sessions. And thanks to their outstanding endurance, they maintain their tone and feel far longer than standard bass strings, saving you money on replacements and ensuring consistent performance gig after gig.
