D'Addario Pro-Winder for Bass String Winder/Cutter

Most Liked Negative Review

Good Winder/Cutter, but no Pin Puller

I was happy with the string winder it is large enough for all my Basses, and even a full size cello. It winds and unwinds smoothly and quickly. The string cutter was easy and even cut my E-string with ease on the first try, cut string when straight don't cut on a bend, I checked out the cutter on several used strings and each time it cut clean and easily when the string was straight, but when it was bent it took a couple tries and the end looked frayed. I do not have a low B-string, but cut fine on the low C-string on the cello. My problem with this winder is it does not have a pin puller on the end, I have an Ibanez Acoustic/Electric and the pin puller on a regular guitar string winder will not fit the pins any more than it will wind the strings, so if you don't need a pin puller this is a great winder/cutter, if you do I would suggest a nylon notched car upholstery remover available at your local auto parts store for a few bucks.
