I have a 2272 x 1704 = pixel version of this photo where the strings look normal. My guess is = that Ron's photos have their resolution greatly reduced for web display. = Or does your string question stem from the nice even wrap terminations? = If that is it, I give Jim accurate measurement data, rather than = tracings. With his computerized string making equipment, it's, well, = just like a computer - garbage in, garbage out - and alternatively, = accurate data in, accurate strings out! I use a Nikon Coolpix 4300 digital camera - it's kind of an upper-end = average-Joe camera - from a professional view, it is a cheapie. The = thing I really like about it is that it has a macro function that allows = you to focus down to about two inches from the subject - good for = photographing center pins and nicks in strings, etc. Terry Farrell Two questions - What kind of bass strings are these? and what kind of = camera equipment do you use. The quality of the photos seems much = better than Ron's...no offense intended. David Skolnik I don't know that there is anything "wrong" with using Dag or = graphite, but some, including me, don't think it is necessary. Hard = maple is a rather lubricious wood and strings slide over it quite = easily. The photo below is of one of my bridges. =20 I think most rebuilders and manufacturers use black goop on the = bridge tops because "that's what you're supposed to do". =20 Terry Farrell =20 <SNIP - IMAGE> ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
