• Remove Old Strings — Carefully unwind and remove the old bass strings from your instrument. Clean the fretboard and bridge area if necessary before installing new strings.
• Install New Strings — Thread the new D'Addario ETB92-5 strings through the bridge and body. Ensure the correct string is on the correct post (E, A, D, G, B for 5-string). For long-scale basses up to 36 inches, ensure sufficient string length.
• Tune and Stretch — Tune the strings to pitch. New strings will stretch and go out of tune quickly. Gently pull each string a few times and retune until they hold pitch reliably.
• Adjust Intonation — Once the strings are stable, check and adjust the intonation at the bridge if your bass allows, to ensure notes are in tune across the entire fretboard.
