Thread Name: Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why?
Subject: RE: Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why?
Well Hello Sailor -(:
You might think I'm trying to slip you a line or even string you along - lol
But take my word for it - or at least try it for yourself - your string does need to stretch a bit.
You'll most likely do yourself, or your instrument, an injury by using a too thick, too strong string.
3/16th's - yee-gods that's almost 5mm - ouch!!
Remember:
"The thinner the twine - the greater the twang"
esp, when used with the cross-strings and amp system.
