Hi all,
I've been doubting my interpretation for bass strings that are dull and recently had some strings come back as they were dull on <g class="gr_ gr_127 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" id="127" data-gr-id="127">arrival,</g> but tested fine when I made them. Tech did twist them, but this didn't help.
Could this be due to the weight (of copper) being too much or the core being too thick? The core <g class="gr_ gr_532 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="532" data-gr-id="532">to</g> my understanding must be able to be tight when pulled up and not "<g class="gr_ gr_488 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" id="488" data-gr-id="488">loose</g>" when it is tuned at the required pitch.
I know a buzz is due to loose copper.
I've been making bass strings for a while now and now want to understand how the 'science' depicts things if that makes any sense.
I hope I'm being clear and making sense.
Thanks
