To solve the problem I got in touch with James How and told him his D and G strings were great but the E and A didn’t vibrate properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe told me to take my bass along to Rotosound and have some strings made until they got it right. After a couple of hours, we realised that the problem wasn’t in the wire winding, but in the core of the string. You could see that the strings vibrated in a big circle and that was wrong; the core needed to be thicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also made the overall gauges a bit heavier and they sent me away with 12 sets to use. A couple of days later they called and asked if I objected to them putting my name to the strings and selling them commercially. I told them I didn’t mind as long as they kept me supplied with free strings!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut then we had to do the same with medium and short scale strings because I had loads of different basses by then.
