Low volume/thin tone on G & C strings

ML is medium c/g/d.. Light A, E, B. Not the balanced set we put on the bass but see what happens.

I guess I will. I just ordered them last night, so I might be able to change them up.

OK. Well I got my TCRML's and I'm gonna give them a try. I'm curious as to whether it's advisable to take all the old strings off first, then put all the new ones on, or change them one at a time.

I usually change them one at a time, to keep from de-stressing the neck suddenly... but changing them all at once would give me a chance to use the wax polish on the fingerboard.

Also, how many wraps around the tuning posts?

Thoughts?

Thanks

3-4 ... ....

[ajhodge]

Thanks, and should I be only changing one string at a time, or is all at once OK?

[Ken Smith]

To clean and oil the FB take them all off. If on a gig, one at a time.

Thanks again.
