Fanned stringing. It's the latest fad.

 

[Pedalnetics]

It's to keep the nut stretched out properly

It’s not supposed to be on the outside??LOL

Fanned stringing increases string tension for better sustain and deeper lows.

 

[Gorn]

At least it's consistent in it's wrongness.

Keeps the gears from wearing out unevenly: rotate your string orientation annually.

Fanned stringing increases string tension for better sustain and deeper lows.

And better intonation. Don't forget that.

I got a cheap bass in a trade and realized after I strung it that the two tuning keys on top were strung backwards. I have just been too lazy to fix it. I realized it when I went to tune it and every time I pick it up I realize I haven’t changed them yet.

Nah...no biggie - it's just strung up with Left Handed strings.

Hmmm, so that's how a professional does it? I've been winding wrong the whole time. Learn something new everyday.

On the real though, you cant notice the famous SR G bend like that. Having all the strings out of whack actually looks kinda cohesive.

That's an easy fix... all you need is a can of steam and some blinker fluid...
