RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sometimes it's good to take a bass into a decent shop to get the intonation sorted out/bass setup. Get them to fit new strings on as well . See what the other bc's say .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Did the previous owner stretch the strings when you put them on Zig??...if i put a new set on, i tune up, then stretch/pull on them..then tune up again... DR Black Beauties are round core strings...so the inner core will slide within the outer wind more than hex...its what makes them more flexible....They may keep going out of tune if they are not at there maximium stretch length....Over time they will go out of tune..
