    I've learned after buying several custom bass strings that adding a few 1/1,000ths to the size given by the micrometer helps ensure a nice bright tone. Before I did that, I often wound up with strings that didn't really come alive unless I brought them up about a ½ tone further than intended. I believe that it's better to have a string that might possibly be on the bright side, and correct that by manipulating the hammer, rather than try to somehow add brightness to a string.

    1:56, you told us the problem, but not the way to solve it! How can I take the pattern if the dampers are in the way?
