Cutting strings

Recommended Posts

I have a BXS EUB and want to replace the Spiro Weichs with either silver slaps or Honeys to darken the tone and feel a little. I have an old set of Honeys that I was going to try oin the bass and when In came to put the first string on (G) I noticed there is a huge amount of peg length, so much so that it covers the winder and then has 4 or 5 additional wraps on top.

Can I cut the peg ends down a bit without it damaging the string? The speaking length from nut to bridge is 41 inches. There isn't much of a tail peice on this bass and the peg box is pretty small and close to the nut.
