I see that on basses, there is no cutting of the string involved so I'm wondering how would I get the length right.

Actually, you can cut the string, but not too short and never past the wrapping.

Here's a good tutorial (even though it begins with step 3, it's really step 1):

Is there a limit to bookmarks :wink: ? I've found so many from this website thru the years it is flat out ridiculous.

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!

I know what you mean, Reb - you should see the length of my "Links" list! I suppose I could prune it a little, but I try never to throw amything useful out - Murphy's Law dictates I'll probably need it the same day!

:D :D :D
