How Do You Change Strings On A Bass Guitar?
• Examine the head of your guitar. Note how the strings come off the grooves in the nut at the top of the neck, pass or bypass holders and the direction that they wrap around the tuners. This is very important for tone. You should have no less than 2 wraps around each tuner but no more than can fit around the tuner without overlapping. • Loosen the first string via the tuner until the wraps on the winder begin to visibly relax. You can either take all the strings off at once and put new ones in all together, or do them one at a time. Most people prefer to change them one by one because it will keep the neck safer. I, however like to take it all off and put new ones in because you can clean your fretboard more easily. But that is your choice. • Once the string is loose enough, pull it from the tuner. It will be bent on the end where it was stuck into the tuner. • Pull the string out either through the bridge or the body, depending on your particular bass. Sometimes it will be difficult
