3V17C Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 just found this site which make jewellery out of old guitar strings etc (all for charidee) [url="http://wearyourmusic.relix.com/gallery.html"]http://wearyourmusic.relix.com/gallery.html[/url] 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? peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRev Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
