Jim Arledge made the bass strings.=20

If that question is in regards to the weird-looking twist on the =
strings, that is not how they look in real life, but simply an artifact =
of the very-low-resolution 520 x 284 pixel photo. 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.

  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.

    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.

    I think most rebuilders and manufacturers use black goop on the =
bridge tops because "that's what you're supposed to do".
