Bass Strings

[Joseph Garrett]

Hey all,
The reason for twisting a bass string, is to make sure the winding is tight
on the overall length of the core wire. IF the swedge is done properly AND
the bass string maker winds the wrap wire snuggly, then 1/2 turn is more
than sufficient. The need for more than 1 1/2 turns is an indicator that the
winding was NOT wrapped snuggly and should be replaced. (PERIOD)
