Hi, great vid. Which bass youre using?
Oh my gosh I went from Nickel wound to Stainless steel and wow the Rotosound Stainless steel is so rough on my fingers! But they sound great
I have taught myself how to change strings, adjust saddle height for the string low/high action, and the intonation. I maybe wrong for doing this but, I use a very fine steel wool to clean the frets and use a food safe oil (for chopping boards) on the fretboard. This time last year I hadn't even put a finger on a bass guitar, that was a good tip about tuning from lower note going upwards and not down tuning, and re-string going from G to E. Thank you Tatiana yet again very good advice. X
Very good ????
Always check intonation especially if trying different strings. The harmonic on the 12th fret should be exactly the same pitch as the fretted note at the 12th fret. If a fretted note is sharp it means your string length needs increasing by tightening the bridge block central screw. If the note is flat, the string length between bridge and nut needs to be shorter. Finally check tuning of all strings at the highest fret on your bass (could be 21 to 24) Every note needs to be on tune, not just open strings and this is how to achieve it.
"Oke..Very Good Mom.. Thank You.."

Cort Action Junior, a great little short scale bass. I have LaBella flats on mine.
Very nice! ????????
Great tips. I use flat wound strings because I like the tone. Take care and I'll see you next time.
Another tip,if your string has a round core, then bend it sharply before cutting it after the bend.
The reason being the winding will unwind if you don't do this.
This happened to me but I didn't realise immediately. It sounded dead and lifeless compared to the other strings in the set.
Strings with hex cores are resistant to this.
Round core strings are less common.
Older beginner here One month into learning some bass glad to find your channel very helpful thank you ????
