DR DRAGON SKIN+ Coated Nickel 45-105 Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale
- High output and full-bodied tone
- Huge, full-bodied sound with high output
- Fine-tuned tension for optimal comfort and playability.
Dragon Skin+ bass guitar strings are genuinely unlike any other to date!
DR Strings’ unique Accurate Core Technology coating creates locking grooves around the round core of each string, which cradles the outer wrap wire. This distinctive method enables the strings to sustain longer by creating closer contact.
The Quantum Nickel wrap wire is coated with a micro-thin polymer that extends the life of the alloy while maintaining, and even improving, resonance. Quantum Nickel is a DR-designed nickel-steel alloy that has increased magnetism to provide more power and flexibility, along with a brighter tone and playing responsiveness.
These strings actually have dragon skin. Alike the mythical version, they are tough, impenetrable, and reliable yet soft and silken to touch. They’ll last longer, play better, and sound richer than ever.
Highlights:
- Extra-long life
- High output and full-bodied tone
- Huge, full-bodied sound with high output
- Round core for playable, comfortable tension.

We insist that players use the measurement of ball-end (anchor) to top nut of their current set of strings. This measurement is more accurate than scale length as it takes into account through-body stringing, and more complex or alternative bridges. In many cases the set of strings required will be longer than the bass’s stated scale length! Use these references:
If ball-end-to-nut length is:
Up to 32” choose Short Scale
32”-34” choose Medium Scale
34”-36” choose Long Scale
36”-38” choose Extra/Super Long Scale
If you have a bass where you cannot see the ball-end i.e. a thru-body bass, you will have to measure your string once it has been removed. Before removing the string be sure to make a mark on the string with a permanent marker just behind the nut so you know where to measure to. Then once you’ve taken it off the bass, you can measure from the ball-end to the mark you made on the string.
