SamIAm Posted January 14, 2024 Posted January 14, 2024 I've a set of string on one bass, I'd like to move over to another (I cannot simply swap them as one is short scale and the other is not). If I leave a bass for some time (week) without strings is is going to bugg4r the neck? (I know that when I restring it, I'll need to let it settle and set it up again) Should I tweak the truss rod after doing this to remove the string tension adjustment? Sam x Quote
Geek99 Posted January 14, 2024 Posted January 14, 2024 You could reduce it a bit, make a mark and count the turns I’ve never bothered myself 1 Quote
neepheid Posted January 14, 2024 Posted January 14, 2024 Why not wait until you have the strings you need for the swap if you're worried about it? 2 Quote

I want to move the 5 flatwounds to Quinn now (New bass event on Thursday and I want to get the setup done) and I cannot afford to buy a new set at present.

neepheid Posted January 14, 2024 Posted January 14, 2024 Well, if circumstances dictate that you must move now, I wouldn't worry about a bass having its strings off for a week or two. 1 Quote
