One P bass has a set of medium chromes that are over two years old. Just tonight I noticed a very irritating "owwww" sound coming from the A string. I tried it straight to the mixer and via a Radial ToneBone. No difference.
- Doesn't seem to matter if it is open or fretted.
- It does not seem to be hitting the frets.
- Nothing feels loose.
- The string is on pitch.
- I pushed down the pickup but it doesn't seem to matter.
Here is a small clip of four open plucked notes on the E, A, and D strings:

Anybody had this happen? Has the string gone dead?
