• Carefully remove the old bass strings one by one from your 5-string bass guitar. Avoid removing all strings at once to prevent neck tension changes. — Remove Old Strings
• Thread the new D'Addario XL ProSteels strings through the bridge and up the neck. For the low B-string, ensure it's properly seated in the bridge and wound onto the tuning post. — Install New Strings
• Tune the strings to pitch (E-A-D-G-B). Gently stretch each string by pulling it away from the fretboard and retuning. Repeat this process until the strings hold their tuning. — Tune and Stretch
• Allow the strings a short break-in period of playing. Their tone will stabilize and settle in, providing optimal brightness and responsiveness for your playing. — Break-in Period
