I always wind below the initial wrap around the tuning peg. It helps snug the string into the nut and gives the best angle possible between the nut and where the tuner wrappings.
Being a new instrumentalist, I never realized that you needed to cut the string. This explains a lot. Thanks for the video.
This is almost exactly how I change my strings, but I would never start with the "A" string. I always begin with the thinnest string and proceed to the next thicker one until I'm finished. Seems simpler this way. I do tune up each string up as I go. This also seems intuitive, and I’m sure helps keep the neck from extremes in neck tension.
Wow, that's a really nice bass. Thanks a lot for the video, it really helped!
Not necessarily - depending on where you live, humidity can wreak havoc on a neck, changing the bow in your neck. It can move enough to cause the strings to buzz against the fret wire. The easiest thing to do is have a local tech take a peek and see what's going on
I love these strings. I only use this brand on my Jazz & P Basses.
while i think placing the string into the hole in the tuning machine is fine, i was taught long ago to lay the string through the channel in the tuning machine laterally, and when winding, wind once over the top, and then each consecutive winding go under like normal. it helps lock the string in and prevents slippage. like i said, either way is fine, but without that hole i'd definitely recommend the once-over locking technique.
I can understand the concept of not removing all of your strings and thus all the tension back when the vast majority of necks were one piece of maple, but with most newer basses having laminated necks of 3-to-5 pieces as well as graphite or steel reinforcement I think most modern necks can handle 15-30 minutes of no tension. I rather give my maple fretboards a good cleaning, my Rosewood 'boards a proper oiling, and polishing my fretless' glossy epoxy coating.
perhaps i should have been more clear; when i say once over the top, i mean over the excess end of the string sticking out of the tuning machine.
also, while i agree it doesn't matter much which string you start with when leaving old strings on, i like to do it like a drum, starting on one end and alternating, for instance, if you start with E [on a 4banger], then do G, A, and finally D.
adam thank you so much for the help!
i hear RotoSound Swing 66 are nice and i believe 45/105 is the most common.
thanks for posting helped me greatly . levite
Thanks for the demonstration. Your vid is very helpful indeed! 5*
I never thought of changing one string at a time. Unfortunately, I have mine already stringless, but what the heck!
Okay but really this time you win I'm done end of story. Congratulations!!!!!
You forgot to mention to keep the strings straight (parallel to the neck) and wrap them the same way around the tuning keys. Any unnatural bending across the bridge or nut risks damage to the bridge, strings, and the nut. Also, it won't tune and play correctly.
It's a warrior.
@hasegawamiki
Maybe not on a fretted neck but on a fretless it's a must, at least IMO
indeed
elixirs are coated, the sound last on my main about 8 months wich is like 5times more than normal
3:34.If I cut the string will I get troubled?Most strings are too long and can create problems to the keys when changing,I had to change one key recently due to this...
hey , i have a squire p bass and it still has the original strings on it. i like the feel of the gauges on it but i don't know the gauge of the strings. any help would be appreciated thanks!
If you want to go really nuts then buy a neck jig and use that every time you change strings!
i got ernie ball regular slinky roundwounds 50-105
AGREED !!! 1 AT A TIME WORKS FOR ME !!!!!
I have issues related to hand-eye coordination while restringing. Is there any solution to this? Pisses me off that after 45 minutes of trying each time I have to have someone else do it simply because I can't get any strings to wrap around.
I never clip my strings either. I'll either wind the entire string(I play guitar, and D'Addario guitar strings are still longer than the actual instrument) So I have a big fat wind at the tuning machine. Or I'll give it some slack of about the length of the headstock and wind from there. This way, my guitar has long pubes sticking out from the headstock. I don't see the point in clipping or trimming strings at all. Everyone says to do it, I ask why.
i need new strings my e broke and i wanna get rotosounds, i like the way they sound but i have a squire p and idk what kind i should get i dont want jazz ones or anything , i like gauge 45 to 105. i know like nothing about strings haa help!!!
if i use lighter gauge would i have a better slap tone ?? someone help me out here
Is there an instructional youtube video for cleaning the sweat form the fretboard???????
Also without removing all the strings???????
Does a Buzz on the string mean its dieing? I just bought my strings a months of two ago.
How often do we have to change strings?
reply to despairsrox ,ya i just got new strings and they're gauge of 46-66-86-106.
try different sets until you find what you like....if you must know...find micrometers and measure them, they are really easy to use (probably not so easy to find)
dude i have a question.. my bass is really hard to fret.. it hurts my fingers during 5 hour jamming time.. and it really hurts when i slap.. is it because of my strings?.
thnx man
@cracker2200
not for me. recently i broke my E string, while tuned down to drop C. playing har will cost you, but dam is it fun.
ok , thank you.
Good lesson. I always have beginners ask me about this. I too change strings one at a time. And I have boiked strings as well. They get you through the next gig but die quickly. If you boil them too long especially the G string you;ll end up breaking it when you slap. Asl me how I know :-) And bass strings are too expensive. I'd bet they are a great source of revenue. In this aspect I'm jealous of guitar players. Which means guitar strings are probably pure profit since we paid for them already.
@cracker2200 Hahahhaa, the funny thing is that my first bass... well, the first time I changed strings on that one was because I broke the E String!!!
Its easier to start from the strings on the outside
@lidesnowi You don't really need to clean it everytime... xP
my last bass strings lasted for 2 years hahaha lol... :D xD
I think he assumes people are smart enough to know to re tune their instrument. Also he does talk about intonation when he says taking each string off at once so the bass won't settle, and need time to back get back to normal.
Doing it like this makes it REALLY annoying to clean the fretboard!
looks like a warwick
@2112dim
After playing them for 8 hours they begin to die!
@imarealgamer Circle K.
@poopdude3 oh wow man that is great! Thanks so much man!!
I was just going to say the same thing...
I dont even have a bass, lol
@poopdude3 yep, that's the best technique =)
in my opinion elixirs, they last forever
This cat looks like Marty Friedman with short hair!
Why does this guy pronounce D'Addario as "Dee-A-Dairy-Oh" when it's actually pronounced "Da-dar-io"
