Let's see: I think you could go to prison and you'd earn it a lot faster faster than in 30 years by breaking big rocks into small ones.

| | | | No of course not. Haveing a set of my fave strings to put on a new bass soon after getting it is a basic part of purchase if I dont allready have strings to put on it.

I spent all of my money on strings, and now I have no money for new basses. But, I am having a lot of fun trying out new strings on the old basses.

Endorsing Artist: Marco Bass Guitars | | Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Wylie (D/FW), TX | | | I've never had this issue playing bass. However when I was a teenager playing guitar sometimes I'd have to raid the change jar after snapping a string to go replace a set. Though that's a lot easier when a set costs like $4 instead of $40. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
