Anyone else go slap-fest when they put on new strings?

It made you who you are today!

My dad used to keep a drum stick (Premier 5B IIRC) in the car so he could hit me and my brother with it when we were pissing about in the back. To this day my brother prefers sitting behind the passenger - contrary to popular belief it's much harder to whack someone at that angle when driving.

Also fond memories of listening to 'Real World Live' (I think) by Peter Gabriel on holiday in Norfolk. Truly made bass my favourite instrument.

Ah the good old days. Back when parents could abuse their children with both rhythm and impunity.

I'm ashamed to admit that I did this recently :(

I allways do it, it's a fun way to give them that first stretch so they settle in tune ;)

Yep. As a bit of an update I don't think I'm a fan of steels anymore. First time I have tried them again for a few years, so it will be back to Nickel's for me on roundwounds.
