Wow! What a CLOWN.

@buslady what would you know? you're a rookie! :P
-
I'm a rookie and even I know you don't yank strings like that!
-
Actually, you can strech a little to ensure it stays in tune. But not like this. I cringe every time I watch this video.

You can't stretch strings! What you are doing is taking the slack off the tuning machines.
You can ruin your neck this way, though. Very effective!

@JaicobMcCarreyMusic "Experts" aren't always experts. I've played a bass for 14 years and have never needed to "stretch" my strings in such a way. They have always stayed in tune just fine. And what some people think of as "clangy" others think of as "bright" or "clear". That's a very subjective thing anyways.

@ExertionMusic I retract that statement - metal does stretch. BUT...Here's a little experiment for you: go get a bass string and then go get a bass neck and apply the same force to them and see which one "stretches" first. Good luck! ;)

@NKUSigEp11 metal doesn't stretch? Rats, I have to look up my physics teachers now and let them now. Thanks!
-
If I did that to my bass, my bass would slap me!

@NKUSigEp11 Experts say to stretch your strings out on any instrument, otherwise it does go out tune quicker, and gives a lot clangy sound

I understand stretching the strings a bit, but that seems a little overboard.
