Cen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I can move one to any other string.. I notice on my learning dvd that guys strings seem tighter.. like when he plucks them, they barely move anywhere.. mine can go far enough to even hit other strings. or maybe I just play horribly.

caprae Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Three things I can think of: 1. String gauge: the heavier the gauge, the tighter the strings 2. Length of neck: Longer like Fender or shorter like Les Paul 3. Brand of string: even at the same gauge some brands have less give than other brands. Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren.

A String Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 How are you tuning? Could you be tuned down an octave? If not that, then it could be your string gauge... Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbach1 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Stringy strings? Oh, Cen, my man, you are really opening up yourself to a barrage of fun from the sense of humor some of us have, but I'll leave that to others as you are relatively new here. Tell us about your tuning techniques. Are you using an electronic tuner or by ear? Help you we shall Obe Won. bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cen Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Whoa, I just realized I posted in the wrong forum.. I meant to do Bass. Anyways, im using the strings that came with it. I could touch one string on one side to the last string on the other side.. yet its still in tune.. and the correct octave. Is this an issue with trus rod or action?

picker Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If they are too stringy, try slow cooking them in a crock pot next time. That'll tenderize 'em.. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
