Broadwood bass strings

[alan forsyth]

It is not an error, but design.

On some models like the straight strungs, the windings of the bass strings went through the bridge as well but wrapped in felt socks. I can only surmise that it was to avoid the plain wire section which in itself creates it's own frequencies.
