Yamaha C6 bass strings

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Clyde

That discussion was about hex core strings in general, not about any 
particular makes bass strings.

If a Hex string starts buzzing... you can twist it and maybe it will 
help and maybe it will not... but my experience tells me that its time 
to replace the string.  Any  help offered by twisting goes away in a 
very short time leaving you back at first base.

Cheers
