SamIAm Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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?

Geek99 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 You could reduce it a bit, make a mark and count the turns I’ve never bothered myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Why not wait until you have the strings you need for the swap if you're worried about it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share Posted January 14 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
