So I found the strings that clicked with my steiny...

I had some barely used nylon tapes (heavy gauge) strings that I was sure they not for me. I had high action and with the heavy gauge it didn't help. I didn't really like any of the strings I've put on the steinberger so I dug these out and slapped em on and tuned em. Amazing! Low action and they worked really well with the EMGs (which I find hard to do, cause I dislike EMGs), pure funk. Anyways I play a few riffs being so exctied that these clicked, and I go to the D string on one riff and it was way out of tune. I tuned it again and sure enough it went out of tune again. The nylon wrap or whatever was coming off so I un did it and clipped it and reclipped it somewhere else but it didn't help.


That pissed me off so bad. Those were pratially new and rather pricey (any strings over $30 is pricey). So next time I'll try for the rotosounds nylon tapes. Will this happen again? Is it cause of the little thing pinching the string? Like breaking it up and letting it slide?


Thanks

Status makes Nylon tapes specifically for headless basses, maybe czech them out? I believe they're branded as Hot Wires
