Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will help you replace your worn out and beaten down bass strings. This is a simple yet useful guide that will give you a brief explanation on how to go about restringing a bass the correct way without confusion. The method will be similar for other, non-Peavey basses so this guide will be useful for any bass guitar. Hope this helps anyone that needs it and rock on!

Guitar string winder and cutterAffiliate linkAvailable for sale on Amazon
This is optional, you really only need a wire cutter to trim excess string length if needed
-
-
-
Spin the pegs in the direction which loosens the string. Either unwind the string all the way and pull it out, or cut the string after loosening it a little.

Now that you have a bass with no strings, grab your choice of bass strings, take them out of the bag and unwind them so they are straight.
-
-
-
Pick up your ropes and arrange them in order from thickest to thinnest, sorting from bottom to top.
-
-
-
Starting with the thickest string (E string), feed the string through the left-most hole at the base of the bridge (pictured left).
-
Repeat what you did with the E string with next thickest string (A string).
-
Repeat again for the next thinnest (D string), and again for the thinnest string (G string).
-
-
-
Pull the strings all the way through so the pegs at the end of the strings are touching the bridge.
-
-
-
Starting with the E string, make sure the string is in line with the correct notch on the nut.
-
Locate the hole in the guide and feed the string through the hole so it sticks out about one centimeter.
-
Rotate the tuning peg so that the string rotates counter-clockwise until the string is taut.
-
Repeat for the other 3 strings.
-
-
-
-
Make sure the strings are wrapped around the peg in the correct direction as shown.
-
If any mistakes were made, you can always unwind the string and try it again.
-
-
-
Once all the strings are taut, begin tuning each string.
-
Now you have a bass with fresh strings!

In order to get your bass sounding brand new again follow these steps and youll get a wonderful result
