And I've never seen that before. You have links?
ah, Scrubby, you must count the strings the other way; to me that 'added tree' is on the A (I call that the second string), and yes, that looks aftermarket. The previous owner may have been using extra light bass strings?
You call the 2nd fattest string A.
Changing the gaol posts mid play old mate?
The fattest string on my guitar is the 6th string.
The fattest string on my pedal steel is the 10th string.
The fattest strings on my mando is 7 and 8.
The fattest string on my fiddle is the 4th string.
So you are saying that the convention I've known for the last 45 yrs is ignored where the bass is concerned.
The fattest string on my bass is the 4th string. Therefore it would follow logically and without ego to make my case that the 3rd string would be an A.
I think you try too hard to get the last word in my good man.
And remember old mate, nobody knows everything.
Have a nice day.
