Suitable for low tension strings, on a bass that always stays tuned.

Anonymous 18.03.2015

This nylon tailgut is quite a bit more flexible than a steel cable, and it takes a while before it stops stretching. In practice that means that after tuning-up, you'll keep tuning for maybe up to a week, but after that it stops stretching & the bass stays in tune.

Negatives:
- Continues stretching for maybe a week

Positives:
+ stretching stops
+ impervious to humidity changes (like steel cable, unlike real gut)
+ the larger diameter prevents damage to a soft end-nut
+ Probably stronger than real gut. I don't know the maximum pull, but with extra nuts it handles 110kg total pull well.

My double bass easily got out of tune when using the Gewa tailgut and after a few weeks I went back to using a metal wire again.

Snapped overnight (I wasn't even playing the bass) that resulted id a costrly repair as naturally the tone post fill into bass at the sudden loss of tension. Gewa didn't answer my email, so I won't but any Gewa products again.

J'ai installé ce dispositif en nylon en remplacement d'un modèle en cable acier sur ma contre basse semi massive. Mon instrument manquait désespérément de fréquences grâves, avec du nylon j'ai gagné en présence et volume sonore de manière notable.
Pour le prix il ne faut pas se priver de cette modification qui ne prend que quelques minutes. Attention quand même à repérer la position du chevalet sur la table en plaçant 4 morceaux de scotch repositionnable autour de chaque pied, sous peine de perdre le bon diapason de votre instrument.
