---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Danny, Just from my own limited experience, it sounds like the twisting on the video was a bit overdone. Most of the bass strings I've put on, I've started at the lighter strings with 2 twists, but till you get to the largest strings, I have a hard time getting 1 full twist on them, let alone 3 or 4. I would also wonder about the quality of the strings they were using if they would buzz and rattle in a few years without 3 or 4 turns. Perhaps they weren't 'wrapped too tight'??? Just an opinion.
