No, very old strings, I was overdue in changing them out. They're D'Addario helicores, which I've really liked and used for a while now. So the fact that it broke is on me, and not surprising. I was primarily concerned with what might happen to the neck or bridge with a missing A string for a...

Yes, already done on your first point. Everything was a little sharp even before the string broke, which again I think was due to pretty extreme changes in humidity here. So the remaining strings have been at normal pitch. My main concern was the change in tension because of that missing string...

Yep, of course that makes sense. I was thinking only loosening them a tiny bit, but that is risky territory, you're right.

Oh, no, it broke at the bridge. I should have mentioned that. I think it was due mostly to pretty extreme humidity changes here in the last couple of days, rather than my Herculean strength. ;)

And yes, this also begs the question "why do I not have extra strings on hand?" which is a damn good question...

I am having a challenging day here. Received a speaker cab that isn't working right, and while testing it with my upright, broke my "A" string. Which brings me to my stupid question. I say stupid because I feel I should know this, but... while I wait for the new string to arrive (likely in 2...

That *is* pretty good! They were so happy with the job they did on the body that they must've gotten lazy when it came time for the headstock.

What are you using for a cab with the Gnome i Pro?

Looks real to me. Most fakes I've seen get the body shape at least slightly wrong.

Hi, long time lurker here but this is my first post. I just recently bought the Warwick Gnome i Pro 300w head and 2/10/4 cabinet hoping to find a lightweight setup that would work both for louder jazz gigs on upright as well as rock gigs on electric. First impression out of the box was...
