    Meh

    Let me start by saying that Fret Nation has amazing customer service an is a pleasure to work with. Dr strings are also amazing and have been my go to for over 20 years after I had the privilege of working at the worlds largest bass only store; Bass Northwest, as well as well as managing the bass department at Musicians' Friend and have literally tried every string out there on hundreds of basses. The 'Meh' is for the hype these strings have been given all over the inter-webs the past 6 months-ish. I tried two sets on two of my Spector basses and I guess I was expecting more from all the hype they have received. Though they are nickel, they feel very sticky and have a higher tension like a Stainless string. I am sure these strings are going to be amazing for a lot of players but I am going to go back to my tried and true Low Rider Nickels and Black Beauties.

    Dragon Skin +Quantum Nickel Bass Strings

    These strings lived up to the description given. Nice fundamentals with deeper lows than standard roundwounds.
    Nice feel and sound!
    Thanks,

    FretNation does things right!

    Quick, easy order, fast, free shipping. And I know they will remember my order even if I can’t. So if I want to reorder, it’ll be easy.

    Best place for strings, all things Dingwall, singles, and odd requests like mixed length sets of TI jazz flat for a longscale Dingwall.

    As far as the Dragon Skin Quantum nickels, I’m still on the fence. First time I’ve tried a coated string. Usually I go with nickel, and nickel alloys, because stainless strings chew my fingers and feel raspy and sticky. I like the smooth of nickel.
    The Dragon Skins feel like they are in between stainless and nickel. A little rougher feeling than I expected. I’m not sure if we are going to get along. I’ll give it a few weeks to break in and get some grease and sweat and funk on the strings.

    Tension wise, they feel nice. A bit stiffer than I usually run, but nice.

    New, and just installed they are very bright. Good bottom, lots of high end, but I feel like they are missing the solid mids I like from the Pure Blues. Kind of scooped sounding. Definitely has me adjusting my eq.

    I’ll give them a month or two and see where they go.
