DR Strings DSB5-45 Dragon Skin Coated Bass Guitar Strings (Medium 5-String, 45-125)

Lock in punishing punch, heavy low-end authority, and extended tonal life with the DR Strings DSB5-45 Dragon Skin Coated Bass Strings. Engineered for standard long-scale 5-string electric basses, this medium-gauge set (.045, .065, .085, .105, .125) features premium stainless steel wrap wire wrapped over a flexible round core to deliver maximum mid-register bite and deep, defined low-B performance. What sets this kit apart is DR's proprietary K3 clear coating applied to all five strings—a specialized shield that prevents sweat, skin acidity, and dirt from deadening your core wire. Unlike traditional, softer coatings that stifle acoustic vibration, the ultra-hard K3 treatment ensures these strings deliver an uncoated tactile feel alongside enhanced projection, maximum volume, and beautifully managed overtones. It is an exceptional choice for modern 5-string slap bassists, heavy pick players, and gigging musicians who want crisp, articulate definition that outlasts standard nickel or steel sets.
