G String sounding "twangy"

[JCA0812]

Sounds like the action may be a little low on that string, or there is too much back bow. Listening to it, I thought it was a fretless.

ill try to adjust the action, it might be too low

Loosen the truss rod a little bit first. Necks change with changes of season, humidity etc.

Good, don’t need to start a new thread.
Just put a set of standard Ernie Ball Flats on my PJ and the strings sound nice but the G string is quite “Twangy”. I had rounds on it before and it wasn’t an issue.

Is this just a wait for them to break in flatwound string thing?

Checked everything I can on the setup side and it’s all good. Sits in the bridge saddle properly, bridge adjusters making full contact, break angle on the nut is good, and no slop in the nut slot.

Going to eventually swap out the EB flats for La Bellas but I need to order those online because all the local shops here in town have very limited choices in bass strings.

Hi I have this issue on my MusicMan Sterling where the G string sounds weird for some reason and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

G string is too low at the saddle for your hard playing style.
