Maybe I'm getting picky but I notice the lower
5 strings on my u12 rattle alot since i put a new
set of BL's on. I was using GIT's and really did not
notice this as a problem. I am analyzing the string
guages to see if a dispairity exsists. its most noticeable on my 9th string.
Any thoughts on strings?

| Yup! You probably cut the string off before you installed it, or rather... before you put a bend in it. If you don't bend a wound string sharply before you cut it off, sometimes the wrapping will come loose. That's what causes most "rattles" in the wound strings. |

The thread talking about sized rollers has me wondering if the Mullen needs a set. The string rattle is absent when played open. If i push hard on the bar I can limit the buzz so i think I will change the offending strings for a set of Jaguar and see what
happens. I will bend the wound strings before I cut them just as I allways have done on my Tele. This could be a roller problem so we shall see.

My number ONE pet peave. Oh how I wish the day would soon come when adjustable nut rollers were in vogue.
Believe me it WILL come. The only question is, when!!

here is a funny thing....I stopped useing the 12 string
bar and went back to the old 10 string bjs. What a difference I can controll the lower strings much better with the shorter bar . so for now thats the ticket. Just getting used to the 12 string Uni string
spaceing and extra strings but its gonna be good.
