strings
I always remove all the strings but slacken the truss rod slightly, it makes it easier to clean the fretboard & polish the frets,

Strings
Hey Ken,
Any input on the last post? I think that it is always a good idea to remove ALL of the strings first then, clean/oil the fretboard before installing a new set of strings. As usual, YMMV! Kirk |

well..
To just change strings, I do them one at a time. Period.
To clean the FB, if and when that's needed or polish the Frets as well, I take them all off, clean, polish, oil and re-string. Unless you are leaving the Bass for a long time without strings, I don't touch the truss rod. IF, the TR in the neck is barely turned which is most of the time with the Basses I see, I don't even touch the Rod at all even if left unstrung for weeks or months. If the Rod it turned quite tight, then I will loosen it to like straight'ish to avoid a back bow while the bass lays around for whatever reason. |

changigng strings
Hey all and Ken,
Thanks for the response. I'm on my fourth set of Ken's Compressors and, obviously, I really like them! I change them out about once every two years or so and I love the way the "take a set" after a few gigs and rehearsals. They are kind to the fretboard and easy on the fingers. Until the next latest, greatest come out, I'll continue to ues these and change them out and include a fresboard clean and be happy! Later, Kirk |
