Paul Cooke Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can't get on with the as supplied d'addario roundwounds that the bass came with, they have too much string noise. I'm thinking of putting on a worn in set of Picato flats I've got kicking around, however, the actual task of changing strings has got me stumped... There's these peg things in the bridge that are stopping me from removing the existing strings and I'm a bit confused as to how to remove the pegs... Do you pull them or unscrew them? I've chickened out at the moment as they don't want to move either way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty simple but quite daunting at first, but you won't cause any damage at all. Edited July 25, 2008 by Old Horse Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thanks... these were so stiff I had to use mole grips and a towel to break them loose... anyroad... the tone is now lovely and mellow... just right for acoustic blues & jazz... no horrible finger squeaks when I slide into a note... the strings that came off will be going onto the Warrior IV so I can try slapping it...
