Bulge in E-string

[TheRealMrp]

Kind of a newbie, but I've replaced several sets of string before and I've never seen a string with a "bulge" in the middle of it. It looks something like a seam. (see attached image)

Is this string defective? I don't know if it should install it.

Any help would be appreciated.

If it is between the bridge and nut then it is no good.

Let customer service from Ernie Ball know, they will make it right

If you don't get a quick reply from EB let me know.

I'd rather see a bulge in your E string than your G-string.

I've never seen that bulge before, I'm sure they'll replace it, one snuck thru QC lol

Very nice. In fact, I was trying to Google this problem and "bulge" was the only word I could think of. Google "bass string bulge" and take a look at the images, if you dare.

I meant to post this earlier...

I went to my local music store and showed them what was going on. The guy there had some individual, in the package strings. Luckily enough, one of them was the exact one I needed. He hooked me up and said he'd get the other string returned.

Worked out great.
