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:

i told you your bass was shitty

and it's not even hard to change a string

do you not know how to tie or something?

:rolleyes:

 

actually my bass is killer :lol:

 

its the string thats shitty or i would have broken my first set sooner than after six months :lol:

:idea2:

haha i just did it. i thought i didn't have any new strings but i did yay!!! :D

killer! right on bro! hang ten!

Cool :idea2:

i'm nobody's bro dumbass :lol: :idea2:

 

yes it is cool :cool:

wow

someone missed the sarcasm

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

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

I change my strings every 4 months.

 

But I think bass strings can last for 8 or 9 months?

as long as your teacher doesn't break them :idea2: :lol:

why would your teacher break them

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

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?

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.

yeah i'm gonna try that as long as they dont get broken first :dozey:

i told you your bass was shitty

and it's not even hard to change a string

do you not know how to tie or something?

 

:lol: How long do strings usually last?!?!

 

Mine havent even broke yet.. and their the originals... WooT!!

lucky you :lol:

dont forget that that girl is "head banging" cuz she is hardcore so strings break easily

yeah i hit my head on my bass a lot....it does tend to put some stress on my strings... :dozey:

:lol: Sounds painful

: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:

:lol:

:D
