beerdragon Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have just put new strings on My MIA Pbass, the old strings went through the bridge as normal. but i decided to go through body, is there any advantage that way?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Well , it's got to change the sound in some way - however small. The arse end of the string is now tight up against a metal ferrule embedded in the body - rather than sitting jammed against a metal bridge that's screwed onto it. Not sure if it's an advantage but obviously it's a difference. I suspect it will increase sustain so if you want increased sustain - yes , it's an advantage. Only downside that springs to mind is that the wrappings on the head end of the string are now maybe an inch closer to the nut - and maybe close enough to touch it.
