Hi. Good video! I would like to see an episode "how to change the nut" on guitar or bass. I want to change the nut on my HB guitars for a Tusq nut but in first place i don't know what model to buy and will afect the final result. Thanks
Elixir strings RULE ! NOTHING comes even close, when it comes to LONGEVITY and FEEL. TONE is a preference, so I'm not gonna claim, that they sound the best - I just like the sound I'm getting.
Have you tried the new ddarrio XT strings? I've never tried Elixir, but the XT's basically feel like regular strings to me. Maybe VERY slightly more "slick" or smooth, but I definitely wouldn't be able to tell without knowing ahead of time.
@@niclastname yes I have. they lasted a bit longer than regular XL's, but were dead after a couple of weeks - still good strings, but no match for Elixir.
A digital caliper will help you find out the gauge. But you can also go to a music retailer and ask the sales guys. In most shops there is going to be someone with tools and experience. You can also simply change them to "standard" bass strings (45-100 for example) and see how that feels. //cheers, Kris
I changed from 0.09 to 0.10 and noticed not difference in intonation or neck relief. It might be so little that I dont notice, but my tuner should, well he doesnt.
I changed to low e string one time but it tightened very quickly, like 3 winds of the tuning post and it was very tight. I was worried it was going to snap, any tips?
