here is the real truth behind the making of strings !!

[MVE]

He does a bit of the ole' fisting in that one.

Butter me up...lol

Anyway, I think the OP's rant of disalutionment might be more appropriately aimed at something more deserving and grandiose than the guitar and bass string industry.

Like, did anyone see that doc about the orca whale that was stolen from his mommy and forced to dance for humans until he killed a couple of his handlers??? Now that was some &@$#ed-up &€#%.
Or, those people in Virgina that has fire coming out of their water faucets???

Maybe someone needs to make an entertaining doc on the lies and treachery of the greedy lying scumbag guitar string industry?

Oxygen free, my @ss.

Let's get back on topic.

 

[ZorgRift]

please photoshop OP onto each of Sting's hands

 

[ZorgRift]

wait OP is just a question mark. you should probably use a picture of the riddler.

I dunno man, Iv'e pulled open a few packs of strings that were stained

 

[Hoochie Coochie Man]

I am having difficulty finding strings for a left-handed bass.

Is it possible to convert right-handed bass strings to left-handed bass strings by cutting the ball, (or whatever it's called) off the end they put it on at the factory, and attaching it to the other end?

I use real cat gut. Just stop by the local Chinese take out.

I realize that I'm being PC here, but racist jokes are so not cool.

The essence if marketing is to make small nuances of a product important to a customer.

Some of the claims companies make about strings might be a lot of hype - but I know one thing: I can hear and feel a difference between brands.

Thats a wrap

 

[ZenG]

I thought stainless steel strings were not supposed to rust......

 

[JimmyM]

Sting will see you now:

 

[JoeWPgh]

Am I too believe that marketing departments use lush adjectives in describing their products?? Color me shocked! Next thing you know a McDonalds hamburger won't look anything like what you see on TV!

They eat parts of animals we wouldn't

Who is "we"?

We is Americans who eat hotdogs. No unusual parts in those at all.

yyyyyyeeeeckhh!(shudders) I just noticed that I'm in a room full of pervs.
never been interested in porn history, archives or lexicon. fist hand is something a boxer uses, an umpire uses, a gesturing person expresses with, and so on and on. dont find it funny when you refer to it in the way yall are. its more like 8th graders makin butt jokes. Supremely Shallow.
bta, i didnt ever check and see if there's an age restriction for posting, so it could really BE 8th graders.

Shallow? I don't know...that depends on a few factors...comfort level, fist size, amount of intoxicants ingested...

I'm 54 and jokes like that will be funny to me till I croak. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to say I don't care.

No offense meant. I used to spend a lot of time in Flushing, and my friends would make similar jokes. They eat parts of animals we wouldn't.

At times I feel utterly ashamed that I don't eat every single part of the animal, and so its spirit will be displeased at the waste of its living energy. I have brought dishonour upon my family and must now commit ritual suicide to cleanse my offspring of the shame.

Seriously though, there's loads of weird-as-hell stuff all over the world I wouldn't eat either, not even stuff from my part of the world. I'm South East Asian and ethnically South Chinese, and I'm reasonably used to food from this part of Asia, but there's stuff I wouldn't touch in the rest of Asia, Europe and America.

 

[JimmyM]

Flushing...hey, I get it now! Way to tie in all the different themes in the thread!

 

[bobalu]

When I want oxygen free strings I just hold my breath and play. Really works!

 

[okcrum]

Supremely Shallow.

I disagree. Shallow is pulling the race card while being completely ignorant of foods of other cultures. That's a 1 card deck right there.

 

[JoeWPgh]

I'll only use strings that are made from vintage NOS steel and cryogenically treated with free range negative ions

 

[nerkoids]

I want fist hand now.
