WHICH STRINGS TO USE: Enrie Ball never let me down but consider that I am talking about Italy market. Due the un constant quality I have found here in major brands I came to the conclusion that most of them are sending their lower quality production runs over here. The situation may be different in your country, for example in USA or UK or even Germany, where I think they sell their first quality and there may be a lower percentage or faulty strings.

Also remember that too much of a strings angle over the saddle and beyond (for example on strings through body) damages the various (and very complicate system of) overlapping windings especially of the bigger (low b) strings thus affecting sound and intonation. You can trust me for the words, I have made severe tests.

Write if any!

  • Just buy some and test the B string as I show here. If it sounds like the other strings playing it as I show in the video.

  • Wonderful video. You are very intelligent. I've never seen such a scientific approach to this. Your Italian craftsmanship is showing well!

  • @fingerboy18 Thank you! Liked the idea that you are appreciating something Italian.

  • WHICH STRINGS TO USE: Please read description box.

  • @Deathrape2001 The keyword here is "Fuck"!

  • do u have a website in english? i'm very interested to see what u offer! i tried the link in yr description box, but it's italian only and i didn't see a catalogue or online shop there.

  • ever heard of google? it's a search engine where u can search for stuff like best bass guitar 2012 or basses with good low b-string sound and look for yrself u annoying cunt!!!

  • @FruduaTv u should have added a you after the fuck! ;-)

  • @eggobass Rotfl chill the fuck up. Also, not all strings have silk around them.

  • @Eukatheude Once again...YOU NEED TO GIMP THE STRING BEFORE CUTTING OR WINDING IT INTO THE PEGBOX...THE SILK WILL SLIP AND THE STRING WILL OFTEN GO DEAD IF YOU DON'T GIMP IT. GO DO SOME RESEARCH ON TALKBASS. JESUS CHRIST YOU NOOB.

  • @eggobass I haven't been building instruments for years, i'm not the one who uploaded this video. It's just how i do it, and i've never built an instrument - yet. Though i've read many guides and listened to many different people, and no one yet said that you should bend before cutting. And i still see no sense in it, since you can get the perfect measure doing it like that. The string can be winded perfectly even when you cut before bending.

  • @Eukatheude You are entirely incorrect. If you don't "gimp" (bend) the string before cutting it the winding will roll back on itself and the string will go dead. It's kind of appalling that you've been building instruments for years but don't know about something so crucial and absolutely elementary.

  • @eggobass There is no point in bending before cutting, since you use the tuner as leverage.

  • Thank you so much! Everything you say makes perfect sense.
