Yeah...the reason I was boiling them was because they sounded like flats instead of rounds. The moment a string loses its zing I feel the need to replace it

Have you considered guitar? Strings are zingy & cheaper.

Agreed..plus as the inner core is steel, even if you [i]think[/i] you have allowed them ample time to dry off, they are still prone to rust.

Would that not be a good thing if the band's genre are "post metal"?

I've never boiled strings but I too feel the need to change strings when they lose their zing.
