Paul,

I've wrestled my brain around this statement, but I lose every time... =
:-)

Are you saying that any half turn (180 degrees) causes some effect at =
the bridge that any whole turn (360) will not cause?

  One thing I do know is that it is positively not necessary to twist =
bass strings more than 1 full turn to give them maximum stability (tight =
coils). Any half turn is going to bend the wire back on itself at the =
bridge pins and cause problems down the line.=20
