'Buying No Strings' Fun

[cloudburst]

A confession.

I've played bass for nearly 40 years and have never EVER bought a single string.

To put this another way, my 74 Jazz has 74 strings. Sounds lovely too.

Sorry.

That's not a bass. It's a piano.

Well that's not what I expected this thread to be about......

You'll be shocked when you do finally invest in some new (decent) strings. They're not sixpence anymore you know.

You can take zing out of bright sounding new strings with EQ, but you can't add harmonic richness into dead old strings. I put it to you that you don't know what you're missing.

I like new strings because they're all shinny

Excellent, you ought to get a medal - an old medal of course.

Not keen on new strings myself, though now I`ve bought an active bass, things may change - for that one only. Certainly though, on my Precisions, I dislike new strings intensely.
