Well that's just stupid! You can't win! Twist one way, you loosen the winding; twist the other way and you loosen the loop!

It is instantly visible which way to turn by looking how the loop twisted. You do NOT want to twist so the loop will unwind. Not So!! Schaff bass strings hitch pin loops are twisted clockwise. Mapes are counter clockwise. Windings from both string makers are counter clockwise. Randy Mangus,RPT
