Not sure what to do with it | It would be cheaper than ordering a custom set and you could get any type of string you wanted. I'm sure there are manufacturers that offer a set like that, but you would be limited to only what they offer.
You can always find a use for a new G string...

Best left to PM's so the younger crowd is not offended and exposed to G string uses not fully intended for bass guitar.  |
