    For sale Genssler AP E String - brand-new

    Brand-new, unused Genssler AP E String. I love the AP set, but for some reason my bass likes a touch more tension on the E string than these offer, so I order the set and replace the E with a different string. This string hasn't even been on the bass. Thank you.

Well, i've tried 5 different sets, but still couldn't solve an intonation problem. Saddle pattern is way too strange with every set. All are same 45-105s. Relief is...

    If my speaker is only rated to 45hz do I need a HPF to tighten up my B string?

    Sorry folks but I've looked and looked. The title says it all really. My B string sounds just fine through my headphones; nice really, like the E string but lower. Actually, the same applies when playing not plugged in at all. Once I'm playing through my rig the B string notes are not as...

    Fender jazz E string issues

    Hello I bought an American Professional Jazz about a year ago. The E string played a lot louder than the rest of the bass so I took it back for set up. The tech lowered the pickups on the E string end of the bass to reduce E string volume. Now the E string lacks body and sounds kind of...

    Playing open E string vs down tuning

    Can anyone tell what’s wrong with the E string?

They sound pretty good except for the E string which sounds “dead” or “muddy” as compared to the other three... if you look at the E string in the picture...

    Guys, The E string on my Peavey Foundation is very "floppy". It gives a loud metal clang and feels like it's going to slide off the fretboard while holding it. I turned down the treble and this helped the noisiness somewhat. I recently had the strings adjusted by a Luthier but now this...
