As far as string tension goes: the heavier the gauge the greater the tension in the string; likewise, the longer the scale of the bass the greater the tension will be (strings will feel tighter on a 35" scale than a 34" scale) and; hex core strings feel tighter than round core strings!

Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Someone posted a photo of their 2025x on TB and it took me a moment before I realised that it had a maple fretboard. So I did a google search for a 2024 with a maple fretboard, and came across this, posted here on BC by @GreeneKingnine years ago. Mmmmm.

We all agree with you - It's why 4 on a line headstocks don't work and never have. To be honest with you I think the only mistake in your theory is 5 string basses - surely we should scrap them and play 3+3 6 strings? Or Ned Steinburger influenced headless.

Al Krow Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I appreciate that Captain Hooke's analysis may only be hanging by a thread 😊 However I do believe it is the best approach here and nice to be able to dust off my physics A-level / undergrad notes for once! "Hooke's law is applicable not only to coil springs...but also to the bending of metal and some other materials, the stretching of wires like guitar strings, the stretching of rubber bands, and the stretching and compressing of chemical bonds."
