You see the actual stretch in the winding, can’t be a good thing😱 My action is somewhat higher but on the flats in the photo stretch is minimal, lower action (which would slightly improve the brake curve) is also not an option for my my setup is the same on all my basses, which I like and can...

Yeah that looks familiar, I’ll load some fotos too

Yep im sold im going to try something different than Roto,s on the precision, i play finger style and pretty heavily, no issues with my other basses, so ive drawn my conclusions from what ive read here, and from my own experience, will take a few weeks to see if its the strings or just me 😀 For...

Good idea👍

My next job thanks 👍

Amazing, thats a great track recrord.

Cheers ill have a look at that 👍

Thanks for your reply, maybe i should slightly round the groove edges a bit mote than they are, option two is to try new saddles……..thank for the idea

No I checked that, just to me it seems an enormous bend as it travels over the cilinder into the string shaft with visible tension meaning slightly stretched winding. The strings do break in thr exact same spot, on the saddle, it seems to be all smooth and not sharp but ill revisit that...

I know the discussion thing and have deliberately stayed away from the dreaded tone thing, it’s purely a hardware issue question, but thank for the heads up 😀, it’s got me thinking the strings are maybe not so compatible.

That’s correct, I use only rounds, but I’m learning and concluding my thoughts as we speak/read 😁

Thanks, before I go top loading I’ll change brands, I play x2 a week and rehearse x1 should be a month or two before I can draw any conclusions, maybe I’m just getting more heavy handed💪😀 thank guys

Agh thanks, I’m seriously considering that route now👍

Actually it does have the option and i will give it a shot, i was just curious if this was indigenous to the through body bridges, maybe not but all the info helps my research so thanks 🙏
