How do I restring on a double bass?

Answer 1

To restring a double bass, first, loosen the old strings and remove them by unwinding them from the tuning pegs and bridge. Clean the fingerboard and body before installing the new strings, starting with the lowest string (E) and working your way to the highest (G). Attach each string to the tailpiece and wind it around the tuning peg, ensuring it has proper tension and is seated correctly on the nut and bridge. Finally, tune the strings gradually to the desired pitch, making adjustments as needed.
