“watch your eyes” Why do I find that one sentence funny?
Where can I customize a bass that color?
in my 27 years experience 3 turns for the string is better , this gives
more life time to the strings and gives less tension .
Perfectly good spare strings wasted.
in my 6 years of experience i never knew about the little hole in the
tuning pet :O now i know, i used to wind up the string first and then go
across the tunning peg so there would always be a 0.5 cm string sticking
out of every tuning pet LOL
If you watch Gibson,they would say 3 machineheads.Just confused!
thanks i cut my A string up to the D string post now it is to short do i
buy new strings or try to work around it
thank you
What bass is it?
thanks Bro
I agree with this method completely. There’s no reason to ever have to wind
the strings more than 2 times on a bass guitar. I’ve seen methods with 3 or
4. Ridiculous.
I change one at a time. D’Addario Pro-Steels are great strings.
Ive only heard of boiling stainless strings to bring em back to life.

Why on earth would anyone snip the strings off the guitar?
It’s ALWAYS a good idea to keep them in case you break one during a
session.
just curious…does this method not affect the tension on the neck…
man, your guitar will stand this little time without tension on the neck.
except it’s a $99 Walmart one maybe.
The two strats on each far side look so awesome! So beautiful :’)
i love that bass
is it necesarry to stretch them like on guitar strings?
No?
I’ve heard boiling bass strings is a good way to clean them. Don’t know if
it’s an old wives tale though…
yeah each time he cut the string.. i’m like.. “ouch.. $30 dollar is gone..”
You are doing it all wrong
They coloured the ends of the strings…Thanks, I’m colourblind :'(
Who said anything about boiling the strings? No shit it will rust.
why do you have to cut them ? if by eny chance a new one brakes uoy kan
change it and if they are just dirty why not boil them?
well i know how to change strings but please keep vids like this comming!
omg why would you cut them, bass strings are so friggin expensive
not so much a big deal if you have a good instrument, good trussrod will
come back to the same place when using the same gauge strings…with a bad
instrument, do it one by one…
That’s pretty much an old wives tale. I’ve tried it a two or three times
out of sheer curiosity and it doesn’t really do a whole lot, if anything it
made the strings sound even more rubbery and dull! 🙂
If you don’t wanna cut them just unwind them completely. He works for
Fender so I’m sure he can afford some bass strings
I like to save my old strings and clean ’em off a little, in case I need an
replacement when one snaps..
There is no said time frame. Depends on the sound you’re looking for. If
you like the thump of the flatwounds you might leave them on for years and
years. I personally use Nickel and Stainless coated rounds. Once they
starting sounding dead I’ll pull them off. But they usually serve me a
couple of years. It’s all up to your ear.
what type of Jazz Bass is that? I love the finish
YOU DON’T CUT THEM! If you have a string snap mid gig, dead strings are
very useful for getting you through the night. It might not sound as good,
but it doesn’t leave you 40-100 bucks out of pocket.
How much did fender pay daddairo for the ballend
He makes it look so easy!
Why does he remove ALL four strings at the same time? Wouldn’t that mess up
the neck a bit/some? I was taught to go one by one to maintain neck
tension.
They didn’t break for 10 years?!
WHY CUT THE STRINGS!!!??? Strange indeed!
thank’s for the information 🙂 More videos, More videos, More videos!!!!!!!!
Who else is an experienced player and just watching the video because they
have nothing better to do?
Why cut them?
