Left/right handed... 2/3 band... if nothing else learn to string the G correctly!

It may well be a genuine sale, just because he/she has cut and pasted generic info into their thread and they are a brand new user doesn't make it a dodgy bass but... nobody, not ever... should ever wind the G string that way on a Stingray bass!

Oh dear.

Re winding the string the wrong way. It`s almost as annoying as people who leave the un-trimmed ends of the string hanging out, mostly on guitars but I have seen it on a few basses. Or people who don`t put the end of the string down into the hole on the tuner peg

He he. And the weight seems to vary slightly. A bit like Vanessa Felts.

There's no point - I'll only have to change them in a couple of years.

Could be stolen or something - the eBay username has clearly been set up solely for the purpose of selling the bass.

I always leave a nice long end on my guitar strings hanging out, means i can tie them back together when they break at the bridge end. It's my guitar I can do what I like with it

I do the same (an old buskers' trick, taught me by an old busker). I do coil them up neatly though as otherwise Mrs Zero might get an eyeful of guitar string ends and she wouldn't like that.

You string your bass with boot-laces?
