I tell you, having spent $35 on a set of fender 7350s Ms, and having been very over charged (it's the only strings for an hour, they make a killing), I was very anxious about putting them on (having snapped one the day before). I snipped the tips, and wound them without incident, much to my relief. I was soo worried about breaking them. Now I feel much better having done it, and not ruining the strings! Just letting you guys know!

because I needed them ASAP, so I had to spend the money. I had to make a practice (the first with my new band) and it was the only time for the next two weeks. I have three sets coming in the mail as it is. (from online)

Hey Brendan, congratulations. Now all you need to learn is how to set your relief, action, and intonation. http://www.talkbass.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
