DR Strings announce New Black Dragon Multi-Scale Bass Strings
DR Handmade Strings, Inc. have announced the release of its Black Dragon Multi-Scale Bass Strings, a new line engineered to bring out the best in extended-range and multi-scale bass guitars—including those with 37” B strings.
The BLACK DRAGON™ series represents the next evolution of DR’s innovation, combining the acclaimed tone, effortless feel, and exceptional longevity of the company’s renowned Dragon Skin+ strings with the striking aesthetic of a sleek black K3™ coating. This ultra-thin, durable layer protects the strings while preserving resonance, clarity, and definition. The result is a string that not only delivers unmatched sound and sustain but also makes a bold visual statement on any stage.
At the core of BLACK DRAGON™ lies Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT)—DR’s patented re-engineering of string architecture. ACT introduces precision grooves in the core wire to perfectly cradle the wrap wire, optimizing vibration and stability across the entire string length.
For bassists, this means greater clarity, definition, and authority, especially in the deepest, most demanding low end of extended-range instruments. Even the sub-bass frequencies of a 37” low B ring out with articulation and power.
The BLACK DRAGON™ Multi-Scale series is available in multiple set configurations to meet the needs of 4, 5, and 6 string players:
• Multi-Scale Medium (4-string): 45, 65, 85, 105
• Multi-Scale Medium (5-string): 45, 65, 85, 105, 125
• Multi-Scale Medium (6-string): 35, 45, 65, 85, 105, 125
With their combination of cutting-edge design, extended life, and uncompromising performance, BLACK DRAGON™ Multi-Scale Bass Strings empower bassists to explore new depths of tone while maintaining the feel and reliability demanded by professionals.
