Spinet Bass String

[Avery Todd]

Matthew,

All the responses I've read notwithstanding, I got the impression 
from your post that
you were going to be replacing an entire set of bass strings? Did I 
read you wrong?

If a set, yes, definitely remove the action with all warnings 
necessary to the customer.
If only one or two, use the safety pin method someone mentioned. It's 
a great way to
replace one/two on any vertical. But universals????? :-( :-( :-( They 
don't cost all
"that" much to have them duplicated and you'll probably make up the 
difference in the
time saved from unwinding, cutting to length, etc. JMO.
