I always put them back exactly as they were. More twists = new
bends at bridge pins, tuning instability and increased risk of
breakage.<br>

<p>Repeat the twist that was there at the time of removal. Or. Put
all bass strings on with no twist. Check the tone and twist as
desired. Generally I have found that a half twkst per string is
enough.<br>
