Thanks in advance! :) dwjazz54 09-27-2003, 05:05 PM How on earth did you snap a .130 B string? How, how how? 20db pad 09-27-2003, 05:11 PM www.juststrings.com is a great place to start. 555 09-27-2003, 05:16 PM Originally posted by dwjazz54 How on earth did you snap a .130 B string? How, how how? extreme slapping! lol i gotta calm down with that! :( Nick man 09-27-2003, 05:38 PM Guitar Center if you have one near you. Its a good idea to change them all for a better sound. Ive broken my B just with normal playing. Peace Nick FiveStringsNme 09-27-2003, 10:53 PM I'm thoroughly impressed.....I've always thought breaking a B was impossible( as long as it isn't tuned up like 3 steps) Nick man 09-28-2003, 01:17 AM Ive broken B E A(2) and G strings in my time as a bassist. Only once or twice was it from hard playing the rest were just normal playing. They never actually broke the whole way through. It was just the core that broke; the windings stayed intact. Peace Nick Obsolex 09-28-2003, 05:05 PM Don't just buy a single string IMO... Unless you have an extra one and are going to restring soon anyway... But it will sound brighter, newer, and better than all the other strings... |
