beerdragon Posted July 27, 2008 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
Dr.Dave Posted July 27, 2008 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. Quote
