Dear Garret - I'm not certain of this, but if I were JD or anyone else, I'd probably wonder if you've thoroughly read the very recent threads, starting respectively, with Marcel Carey's "bass strings installation" (4/23), then to David Love's "bass strings installation / coil direction" (4/23), skipping over "bass strings installation / coil direction (OT)" if you wish, to John Dorr's "Bass String Twisting" (4/24), to, finally, John Dorr's "bass twisting direction" (4/24). While I myself still have further questions about the bass string making process and its effects upon tone, your question would seem to have been addressed, more than once. If you already have JD saying: >but, as I've explained at least twice before on this list of very >short memories and >Well, isn't that precisely what I said?! I'd be a tad cautious about asking the same question yet again. At least try to make it sound like a different question.
