I forgot where it was, but I saw that exact same picture and thought "I should tell that guy that his bass is strung incorrectly", but decided to avoid any possible wrath. Same frickin' sale...is that here on TB classifieds? |

What do you think the holes in the tuning post are for?  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Wales, UK | | The first few times I ever restrung a bass I went straight into it like that. not thinking about it or anything.
After 2 or 3 goes I got the hang of it, and now I get payed to set up other peoples instruments for them...
The difference being I started on a £60 Westfield POS, not a £1200 SR5
