went to the guitar store today and was sold on some expensive strings "thomastik infeld jazz flats 45-100". never installed flats before but have years of experience installing rounds and never had a string break at the peg until now. Something about the winding at the peg end with these strings really makes me angry. E and D go on fine but when I put the A and G string into my musicman peg-hole and start tuning the felt starts peeling away from the windings and then SNAP. Had to keep cutting the string shorter and shorter but each time the felt wore away and it snapped. really irritated and kind of angry. I'm really confident in my re-stringing technique but is this a defective string or something inherent with musicman stingray basses? wondering if I can bring them back to the store and be like ***?! |
