Using your D'Addario NYXL 5 - string bass strings is easy. First, make sure your bass is in a stable position. Remove the old strings one by one and replace them with the new NYXL strings. Start with the lowest gauge string and work your way up. When tuning, do it slowly to avoid over - tightening and breaking the string. For best results, tune the strings a little sharp and then back them down to the correct pitch. This helps the strings settle and stay in tune better. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean, dry cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will extend their lifespan. Keep the strings in the recyclable, resealable VCI bag when not in use. Remember to register the code on the bag to earn Players Circle points. If you notice any signs of wear or if the strings start to sound dull, it's time to replace them. Enjoy the rich, thick sound these strings bring to your bass playing!
