La Bella flats for string-through-body Mustang basses are the best! Tone is killer, and your frets will thank you.
I have the same CIJ bass.
Did you ever have trouble with hum?
@@realbealNo, no hum.
Nice information, thanks. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much. I would live to hear any video ideas you have!
I agree that changing them one at a time is the way to go. I just discovered you channel today - Nice videos! I've been playing just a little longer than you, by the way. I started way back in 1979.
Good video. I always change one at a time also. A string winder speeds up the process. Also after you stretch the strings tune the bass and repeat several times. Also grind a pencil with something like a nail file and put the powdered shavings in the nut slots, This helps prevent string slippage.
Oh, I didn't know about the pencil. Great information!
The Chrome XL flatwounds are the only strings I use on all my basses. Long and short scale. I love these. The sound and feel you get with these are so good. I hope you'll be happy with yours. I am and I can't recomend them enough.
That is good to know. What is different about the sound?
@@realbeal It's so round and full yet it got good clarity. Like a modern 60s sound. And the feel of the touch on the strings is so good. Not like the gritty sound you get with roundwounds. But that's just me.
Thanks much! I’m thinking about buying that Bass. Stew Mac has a tool that allows for truss rod adjustment without having to remove the neck. So short scale strings work on that model??😎
No, I use medium lengh strings since the strings go through the body.
I change strings one at a time too :)
Oh, good. I think it is better for the neck.
You need a bigger wire cutting tool. I have the same bass and put flats on it immediately (Medium scale length pack for string through body).
That's what I get for sneaking into the garage and stealing the tool istead of asking for a good one!
This should be easy-Changing Bass Strings Should Be Interesting-This is a learning experience
Yah! I do it so infrequently, I have to learn it over again every time!

I thought it was normal to change your strings slowly and 1 at a time? I treat my bass like a dang baby when I change the strings, like I'm changing its' diaper I clean it and I'm gentle 😂
Me too! It's my baby!
