TheGreek Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Zach' post='1115542' date='Feb 4 2011, 04:21 PM']Just realised that i've had the same set of la bella flats on my bass for two years now. I still like the sound, so don't really see the point in changing them, but part of me just feels i should do. So I was wondering who on basschat holds the record for longest time without changing the strings on their main bass. Anyone over the decade mark?[/quote] compared to some of the stuff that's on this thread they're [i]practically brand new [/i]- probably got another 30-40 years in them yet who's gonna be the first to use the phrase "[i]I've got strings older than you[/i]"??

[/quote] Yup, this thread has made me feel much better about not changing them There've already been strings mentioned that're older than me, considering i'm only 21.

fretlessguy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) My 74 Jazz bass had a set of Dean Markley roundwounds on it from 1978 to 1996. It's had several sets on it since then.

Blademan_98 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 There you all go again about 'changing' strings! I've only bought one set of strings in my life and they are still in the packet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I see the usual Roto fans are the prolific ones in this thread too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
