And then buy DR strings that don't have silks.

How to remove it? Cut it off with a knife or razor blade. You will probably score the strings, though, which will alter strength and sound, so you may need to try several times.

| | | | Fire fire is right, just burn them off. I have done that with flatwounds which look pretty tatty after a few years. Take em off the bass first, Billybass | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
