How do you re-string and increase the action on an acoustic bass ...

Put the new string down the hole about 4 inches – put the pin back in and pull up on the string until you feel it catch between the pin and the bridge – the pin might be forced up so just push it back down till you feel the end of the string slide... Answer by PJH The ends of the strings are held by the pin in the bridge – loosen the old string – then carefully pull out the pin with a pin puller or pliers with the jaws padded. (It’s either at the headstock under a cover or at the bottom of the neck in the soundhole) This will allow more “bow” in the neck – raising the action. Watch the peg to see that it doesn’t start to pop up. If it does, loosen the string and start over – it’s a “feel thing” – when it’s seated right the peg won’t pop up. Action: All you can do without getting a new saddle is loosen the neck tension.
