damn ! dud set of elites

[ahpook]

well, i can't really complain...i've been using elites on my basses years.

but i think i got a dud set...restrung about a week ago, played one gig and practised twice, and the e-string sounds like a washing line. ugh. the other three strings are fine...still zingy.

thing is - i hate brand new strings and we're playing on wednesday...

so..restring, or put up with it ?

I think you have to restring, at least the E. Do it sooner rather than later and play the bejaysus out of it in the meantime to lose a bit of that (and I agree with you here) horrible twangyness.
