lemmywinks Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I broke the G (45) on a set of HiBeams last night, only the second gig i'd done on them. I wasn't even playing that hard too, it broke around the bridge area. It's the first string i've broke on that bass so i don't think it's a problem with the bridge. Anyone else experienced weak HiBeams? Also would i be eligible for a replacement? It's been on the bass a week! They were from Strings Direct Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I've never broken a string. Maybe it was faulty or the bridge has a problem? Were you pulling the string at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Wasn't pulling the string or playing particularly hard, just played a note and it went! It's a Hipshot bridge with no rough or sharp bits, i've done loads of gigs on that bass (it has been my main bass since i got it) so i'm inclined to think it's the string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
