Steve,

   Since we're on a 'bass string' subject anyway, I'd like to ask what the
purpose is of the crimping that Yamaha bass strings have on the tail end.
Many years ago, I remember being told that that was to eliminate the need
to put a twist in the bass strings. Any validity to this? Just curious.
