Stretching Bass Strings Before Tuning

  What the hell is this guy doing? Never, never do this to your bass. Along with several tunings, the strings will stretch completely in a 24 hour period under normal play. This guy is no expert. I wonder what his technique for flossing his teeth is.

  Do not do this to your strings!! The only thing you'll achieve is ruining your them. You're actually pulling the strings windings apart. The guy in the video is showing his ignorance by doing this. First tune your new strings to pitch. Then stretch them about one inch. Retune. Then let the strings set over night and you're fine.
