string install question
With Pirastro strings, think original flexocore or flat-chrome - they come with these white felt rings that are already threaded through the string and touching the "balls". Do you install these? I always take them off because I was told they "mute" the sound of the strings. Perhaps with a gut-core string like Oliv it would be good to have the white felt on?
Thanks. |
Mute?

If those little felt pieces mute your bass, then you need a better bass. |

Well, I don't know if the felt pieces have muted my bass, because I never install them, on any bass. I was just curious if you're supposed to install them or not - like if it's supposed to protect the balls of the strings or not.

To be used? I've used strings with those felts, in the past, and the strings certainly didn't sound muted. The two times I've had strings with felts, the balls were smaller so I assumed that the felts would give them a snug fit.
