    Re: the new Warwick Bootsy Collins sig Artist Line bass

    I need to install a 135s set on a Warwick with two-piece bridge that only takes a tapered B string (130+). I know that from my past experience. Does anyone except Warwick sell sets with a tapered B string?

      Jack, you have many options instead of looking for a tapered B string.

      1. Grab a pair of pliers and squeeze the string right by the ball end. It'll make it small enough to fit snugly in the bridge; I've done it this way since the mid 90s.
      2. Carefully file the opening of the B string slot to widen it, letting it accept regular .130+ gauge strings. Many players I know have done this.
      3. Warwick will sell you a bridge that has a wider B string slot.
