This dude broke his g-string playing a Pleasure song called Glide. It was amazing playing till the end.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=JYZhCrXfiEI
EDIT: A Song called Glide by Pleasure. I figured I'd change that for those of you with your minds in the gutter...

For a while I was breaking B and E strings pretty often on my old Ibanez (good quality ones too). Thank god that phase is over.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Detroit area, Troy, MI | | | I used to break G and even a D string on occasion. Mostly the G, obviously. It was a G&L bass. Looked for burrs, didn't see anything. I'd carry extra strings, and old string sets to do emergency restrings.
First time it happened I wasn't prepared, no spare strings! Luckily it was on the west side of town, and I had dated a female bass player before from the west side... and I usually break up friendly, not a lot of drama. Called her up, she was home, and brought me a G string.
Ahhh the power of the bass player.. Able to get ex-girlfriends to drop off one of their G strings with just a phone call. I don't remember if it was new or used.....
