Another TI Jazz Flat question

[SUNNyday r.]

I have a set of TI Jazz Flats I have removed around 7 or 8times, trying them on different basses. They haven't been played very much at all, just changed alot. I was wondering if this would cause them to be more worn in than even flats need to be to get to that nice break in period. Would the many changes cause them harm? BTW-My favorite basses so far to have them on was my Squire Vintage modified fretless and my old Ibanez Blazer(Pbass style, ash body and maple neck fretted) Any thoughts?

Thoughts;
If you need to straighten and rebend the area above the nut to remove through the bridge,,, eventually you'll "work harden" the material causing it to get brittle and break.
As for "breaking in",, only playing will do that - IMO.

Thank you for your reply. I have always wondered if winding and unwinding strings would contribute to their wearing out sound wise. They are flats but even they must reach a point where they loose the "good" sound. I have decided to leave them on what they sound best which was the Ibanez Blazer(P bass style). The TI's on this bass are a lovely combo! Thanks! a

I found removing and restringing TI Jazz Flats made them sound better ,but like other strings, eventually they will break if you do it repeatedly.
