What. I can't understand you with your tongue hanging out but really what are you talking about? Why do you assume EBVMM owners don't change there strings. I change mine every month-3 months depending on if I use Black Beauties, Elixirs, or Ernie balls.

Starting threads while dumb is a bad idea.

Bumping your own dumb thread a week later does not help make a case for intelligence.

EBMM strings rough hahahahaha, dude c'mon they have such a nice feel & thats why I like em. Steel strings are rough, brass acoustic strings are rough. EBMM makes great strings, sound and feel. Now I need to get rid of my Elixers way too bright for my taste but they'll last forever, anybody interested in some slightly used Elixers?

Hey! Some freaking Goldilocks wannabe broke into my home last night and played all my 'Stringrays'. He bled all over them but didn't take any of them home. I wonder if...

Signed,

i wasnt drunk. i may have smoked reefer from time to time while posting on the interweb but that is a moot point. and a lot of fun. but i digress...

it just seems to me all the people (read: college knowitall hippie bassists) that i meet here at Appalachian State have some kind of music man, with roughest dirtiest strings ive ever felt in my life. enough that i want to carry my own bass with me whenever i go anywhere i know there is an amp to be played.

I'm sure they're working on it as we speak...

...freaking hippies with their rough, dirty strings. So inconsiderate.

Don't worry mate, it'd be a cold day in hell before I let you even touch my Stingray
