DR Strings Dragon Skin+™ 5-string 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+ 5-string bass strings are unlike anything out there. The difference is real.
Choosing DR Dragon Skin+ DBS5-45 Bass Strings
The DR Dragon Skin+ DBS5-45 is a medium-gauge, four-string bass set with coated stainless steel wrap wire. Its micro-thin coating is designed to extend string life while preserving resonance.
The stainless steel wrap wire gives this set a bright, defined tonal character, making it an option for bassists who want clarity and presence with the added protection of a coated string.
String Gauges
The DBS5-45 set includes four strings for standard E–A–D–G-B tuning:
- G: .045
- D: .065
- A: .085
- E: .105
- B: .125
When replacing your current strings, compare all four gauges rather than only the lightest and heaviest strings. Matching your usual gauges provides a useful starting point for maintaining a familiar feel. A change in gauge or string construction may require adjustments to your bass’s setup.
