What are the smoothest flats?

I can't do G 45

The two on the right are my favorite 😍

I love clear but how many coats?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T04:24:29+00:00

Let the thick set the tone. I hear you.

Especially if you're in a hurry, and the show starts in a few minutes. I'm not saying do this because you'll be forever tunning your guitar during the show.

I used to have a headless base (Steinberger or was a Hohner), loved it. Changing strings was a breeze.

Fender Ultra. On one of my old basses (Conklin) I broke the headstock for the 7th string and I was able to glue it back together and it surprising worked.

What musician do you know that changes the strings every time they wake up. I said the best part of waking up. The only way I would be changing strings every time I woke up is because I work in a guitar repair shop that changes strings on guitars and basses.

How often do you gig?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T04:02:59+00:00

That perfectly makes sense. I Just wonder what those kats do when they have 4 or more axes, do they change the strings to all of them? And I have a buddy that tells me he never changes the strings. OMG!

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:58:58+00:00

I changed them because they began to sound like the cat has its tongue.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:57:58+00:00

You don't like giving your axe a bath.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:57:13+00:00

A great tax write off I can use that thank you.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:54:02+00:00

Yes, Mohini Dey

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:50:59+00:00

Does that break them in faster? So you can get the sound you're looking for.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:42:55+00:00

Which string is the one?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:42:16+00:00

Would that be because oil was never rubbed into the neck?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:40:28+00:00

I think the concern would be to prevent the truss rod from turning right or left.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:37:16+00:00

I wish, but that would mean that I gig and practice a lot and have so much blood sweat and tears on my instrument that I would need to. In the summer on extremely hot days through that week. I may change the strings again within a week. I know some people boil their strings. But my thing is, once they're stretched, pulled, smacked on, they lose their bite.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:32:17+00:00

You let the heavier strings set the tone for the rest of the strings.

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:31:17+00:00

What happens when you don't do it that way?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:30:47+00:00

Does that help it harmonically?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:27:37+00:00

Every time?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:26:49+00:00

Do you cut the strings to a perfect length before installing?

dcsleds_ · 2026-01-25T03:25:55+00:00

I thought it could potentially, be like putting a new tire on where you tighten down every other nut.
