Mornats Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hey folks, I have my Yamaha TRBX 504 that's currently got Rotosound tru-bass strings on. I had to get a custom nut made as they broke the original. So I've got a nut cut for these 65-115 strings. My question is, if I swapped the strings for roundwounds, how much lower could I go with the gauge before I encountered problems with it? Would 45-100 fit ok? (I'm selling the bass and a potential buyer is asking so I'm not terribly keen on getting a new nut done at the moment.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 I wasn't sure if the strings would end up moving around too much in the slot. I've not gone from fat to skinny strings before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The nut slots should be cut out in a U shape, so you shouldn't have a problem unless the channels are flat bottomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
