headbanger_bassist Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 i just tuned it down to low D because its supposed to be that way for a song i wanted to play....then i find out the tab is wrong :rolleyes: so i start tuning it back to E and it fuckin breaks. i didn't tune it too high, it wasn't even up to the way its supposed to be yet. and those strings are only a month old. :rolleyes: AND i either have to get the people at the store to fix it for me, which means i dont get to watch so i can learn to do it myself, and it costs $35 because they do the whole "makeover" thing instead of just changing the fuckin string, or i can wait almost 2 weeks for my teacher to show me how :rolleyes: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Peedston Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Even six months is a pretty short life for a bass string. Was it a clean snap or did it start unwinding at the bridge? Because if it's the latter, and if it was the same string both times, that could be a sign that it is your bass's fault. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headbanger_bassist Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 no it started unwinding up at the head....and besides the other ones that only lasted six months were the ones that came with the bass when i got it, and it had been sitting in the store for a while anyways...i'm not sure how long :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I change my strings every 4 months. But I think bass strings can last for 8 or 9 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headbanger_bassist Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 as long as your teacher doesn't break them :idea2: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 why would your teacher break them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I tend to change my bass strings about once every two years. :lol: But that's because whenever they're dirty I just boil them in some water and slap 'em back on. And also because I don't really play a whole lot of bass anymore. Piano is too much fun. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 yeah i wish i could play piano i used to take lessons but i quit my teacher used to queef and she had hairy arms so i quit and i heard boiling them works i just wouldnt want to take them off again can you just scrape the crap off with your pick or something?

Professor Peedston Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I guess the best thing to do aside from boiling them would be to clean them off with some lemon oil on a rag or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headbanger_bassist Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 :lol: at my first show [well technically my second but the first one where there were bands i liked] i gave myself whiplash...which was actually very refreshing and it felt incredibly good. and i got to talk to the guitarist from Eighteen Visions, who was really nice to me, and when the bass player [the guy in my avatar] walked by, my hand accidentally [yes, it really was an accident] brushed against his ass :sneaky: . i couldn't talk to him though cause he was on his cell phone :( :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
