Simplicity at its best. Well done, Mr. Russell! No fluff, no nonsense, just straight up learnin'!

Oh my god man! You are just reading my mind, I was just going to search for this kind of video because I'm going to the studio tomorrow and I have the same GHS Boomers and copy of Fender Jazz Bass. This is crazy. Great video!

Funny this is the only bass string video where people pick apart this man's technique. I searched many videos, from bass pros, Fender, bass teachers, and luthiers. Nowhere did I see anyone talk about needing to wear gloves, or changing one at a time. I have played string instruments for 25 years and have never changed strings one at a time.

Just bought a used bass, swapped out the old strings using this video--thank you!

So quick and concise yet so informative. You speak with clarity and fluidity. This was very helpful. Thank you.

Dude, I've played for 35 years and never heard the "roll under" tip before. Thanks for that. Explains a lot. Sometimes it's under, sometimes over. : )

Great tutorial, thanks! Pushing down the strings at the bridge is new to me; good tip.

[ChadHargis]

Another great tip is to pull the string ferrules back out from the bridge before you start winding. This will allow them to turn freely as the string is wound and not get twisted which can change the tone of the string.

I've been changing my bass strings all at once since I've been playing bass! (from 1981 up to NOW)! No truss rod issues

by far the best instruction on the net, and ive looked at most.cheers.

Looks good man, like you covered all the important aspects of doing this. I'm a guitar player of 45 years and can do six strings in my sleep but I see that there are a few other considerations with bass strings on a Fender type instrument. Now, I'll show this to my some son so he can change out bass strings the right way on his new gear. Well done. Thank you!

Learned a few things I didn't know. I like the attention to the small details. This was very helpful.
