Cato Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I've forgotten that strings with silks still existed. I think the last time I used them was pre internet in the early 90s and the local music shop only sold Rotosound Swing Bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowB_FTW Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 My last set of Rotosound I needed to trim the silk back a bit because I had the same issue this dude did on the first bass where the silk stopped the string going through the bridge hole. In my case it was a 130 B string that caused the issue. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJ Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Had similar issue with a TI B string and a Fender Jazz Ultra. Coaxed it through with a little soap on the silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
