| | | | G is breaking
Sign in to disble this ad
Whenever I buy a new pack of strings, After a couple months, the G always breaks when i slap, I dont think I'm slapping that hard, and its getting to be a problem because ive had like, 4 G's in only a couple months. Do you think theres something wrong with the bridge? |

I know as the scale length increases, so does the tension on the higher strings usually. Other than that, I guess Im not experienced enough with causes to know. |

I've never broken a string in all of my years playing. Bass strings cost too much to break. |
