Super Glue Silk ends

Sign in to disble this ad
Just had a genuis idea!

There are only a few things i hate more than messy silks on bass strings.
I manage to keep the headstock end pretty good looking but as soon as i play with a pick the bridge ends get all fluffed up and i get really annoyed.

I just put a tiny drop of super glue on the end of the silks and i can pick all i want nothing fluffs up, and you cant really see it.

If like me your a bit OCD about your silks, super glue them!

I tend to rest the side of my palm on the saddles and either move towards the bridge for less palm mute or towards the neck for more...
It always fluffs up my silks in a matter of hours...
