* A bass guitar
* A set of bass guitar strings
* A string winder
* A Phillips head screwdriver
* A pair of wire cutters
2. Remove the old strings. Loosen the strings by turning the tuning pegs counterclockwise. Once the strings are loose, you can remove them from the bridge by simply lifting them off. Be careful not to drop the small parts that hold the strings in place.
3. Prepare the new strings. Take a new string and thread it through the hole in the bridge. Bring the string up over the saddle and then back down through the hole.
4. Attach the string to the tuning peg. Wrap the string around the tuning peg at least 3 times, making sure that the windings are tight.
5. Trim the excess string. Cut off the excess string, leaving about 2-3 inches.
6. Tune the string. Use the string winder to tune the string to the desired pitch.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for the remaining strings.
8. Check the intonation. Play each string at the 12th fret. The pitch should be the same as when you play the string open. If it is not, use a screwdriver to adjust the intonation screw on the bridge.
