largo Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've now had 3, yes that's 3 B Strings "stretch" on me when winding them on and I'm looking for help. I've played bass for 20+ years and haven't had this happen to me before. The bass is my Shuker Jazz 5-string and it's had several string changes in the past, with no problems. Mark at DR Neon's has kindly sent me a couple of replacements and these have done exactly the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Unless the strings are faulty, and at £50 a set they aren't cheap. Heeelllllppppppp...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is the B tuner really close to the nut? I had a similar problem when using Elites with my Thumb 5 where the full thickness of the string would end up going round the tuning post ending up in a snapped string. the solution was to buy a single tapered Elites B which tapers very quickly after it passes through the nut.
