If anybody else here who owns a Dean Pace could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I recently picked up a Dean Pace 4, and (like the general opinions that I've read) the stock flats on there were pretty horrible. I bought a set of D'Addario Chromes, and set off on replacing them.
Here's where I ran into problems...
As you may know, the way the tuning pegs are situated (facing in to the center of the headstock) I'm finding it nearly impossible to get the end of the string in the hole in the middle of the peg. I tried bending the string at a 90 degree angle & poking it in, as well as using the 'classical guitar' method (looping the string), but the string kept slipping of both the peg AND the bridge saddles (too much slack, I'm guessing).
Now the bass came with the strings nicely wound (as you'd find on a bass guitar), so there has to be a way to get this right, correct?
BTW - I e-mailed Dean a few
weeks ago & have yet to hear back from them...
Please - somebody
!!!
Thanks in advance,
Chris
