ezbass Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Seems like a rather nice altruistic idea, I'll have a dig around and see if I've got any hanging about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBob09 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I noticed Janek Gwizdala doing this - And it's all fair and well to see someone that changes his strings every 3 days doing this but I play til my tone is utterly horrible THEN change them. I'd feel I was doing someone a disservice by passing them on my old strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the musicians in central/south America are plahying without E strings or are tying knots in guitar strings. I'm sure dead strings are still a step up. But yes, for those musicians who replace them after every gig, this is something they could really help with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It's a lovely idea. Just to let you know there is a pinned thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210389-we-need-strings-charity/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210389-we-need-strings-charity/[/url] at the top of the GD page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBob09 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I feel bad at my post now. I've only just read in to how people are trying to play with no strings and tying knots in them and what not. I didn't realise this happened in the world. Sorry guys! I genuinely feel bad now - And rest assured when I buy my next set (in around 6 months!), I'll endeavour to pass them on.

Mornats Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 No worries, it was a genuine concern that you may have been doing them a disservice will dead strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
