cloudburst Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettsguitars Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 You'll be shocked when you do finally invest in some new (decent) strings. They're not sixpence anymore you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
