Everyone's bass is different off course, and therefor recommending a change in setup isn't going to help everyone, off course... However, I'd just like to express my satisfaction with the kevlar tailgut I had ordered from Gollihur Music. I've had it on my bass now for about 2 weeks, and it has not only given my bass more volume, but the response is also quicker with less bow pressure require to active a string!

Thumbs up! ;)

I'm glad it's working for you. I just ordered a ss cable from Jake de Villiers to replace my steel coat hanger.
I can't wait to try it out.
But...
You don't want to rush these things :D

I need to resurrect this old thread. I am glad no one was hurt this morning when my wire hanger snapped, bridge went flying, tailpiece dropped, strings were just hanging there, etc.. My wife and I got another hanger and rigged a tail wire for the instrument as a temporary fix. I am looking at the kevlar tailgut from Bob G. How is the kevlar working for you now that it has been on for a few months?

Sorry I only see this now...

Kevlar works just great. Hasn't stretched since the day I put it on, and I couldn't be happier.
