1. Push string through bridge hole, leaving a few inches at the tie-end (bottom).

2. Wrap tie-end around the string at the bridge, counter clockwise, so it is under the string.

3. The tie-end through itself and pull it back towards you, like tying a loose knot. For a bass string (strings 3, 4 & 5) anchor it at the base of the bridge by bending the string to fit.

4. For a more secure knot, add an additional loop on the string before tightening the end of the string.

5. Pull the string to tighten and secure the string to the bridge.

6. Repeat with the other 5 strings.
