and wondered if there are any other ingenious uses for old bass strings?

personally i found that an old E string makes an excellent tool for clearing out a bunged up bath plug hole! gets right round the u-bend a treat!!

and i vaguely remember an old pic of pearl jam where one of them has bass strings lacing up his doc martens!!!

any more ideas?

Have to say I like them bracelet thingies; tho the price is a bit steep (even if it is for charidee!!)

I've used a bass string to clear the drain hole at the back of the fridge.

I always wondered why there wasn't some sort of recycling facility for steel - maybe it's not cost effective.
