String fell off...
Sign in to disble this ad
So I went to work today with my Washburn AB10 acoustic/electric bass just fine, and I got home and my D string was just hanging there loose... has this happened to anybody else and would anybody know why it happened? If so is there a problem with the bass that I would need to get checked out? Thanks for any input.

You THINK nobody was around it! No doubt Mothman was through there while you were at work!

Had the Mothman been there, the entire headstock would have been gone.

Can you post pics of the bridge and string end that used to be anchored at the bridge?

If not then I'd say you posted this a few days early.
