Smelly Strings

[Zbassb4]

So i got a pair of DR Black Beauties and they are so nice, only problem is they smell. Like really bad. Almost like some sort of fish LOL. What can i do?

 

[Duckwater]

LOL

I don't know how to help you unfortunately, but that is pretty funny.

 

[Zbassb4]

It sucks what could it be ?

... Do you have a really skanky girlfriend? lol jk. No idea though. Never heard of strings smelling bad before. Did you eat a bunch of seafood and play the bass without washing your hands? Lol.

 

[Zbassb4]

No LOL they smelt like that right after they were put on my bass

Are you sure you're not having olfactory hallucinations? Go to your nearest guitar shop that carries the strings. Ask to smell them. Have a friend along to record the entire incident. If only for the employee reactions. And then if none of the others smell... Stuff the set you have into an envelope to the manufacturer with a note saying "Hey dude. These strings smell like rotten vagina". Please. Lol.

Sorry I can't be of any real help. I've never used those strings. It's just such a humorous idea.

Holy mackerel! That's odd.
Something's fishy here.
Perhaps you got bass (fish) instead of bass (guitar) strings?
Maybe you should tr'out some different strings.
Maybe it's not your strings, but one of your tunas?
Is your bass a Sitngray?
Not sure how we can help, chum.
The real issue is not what you're smelling, but what you're herring.
Either way, that's a crappie problem to deal with.
Call the guy you bought them from. Maybe eel know what to do. He's definitely the manta talk to. But be koi about it when you call.
Hell, we could flounder around all day looking for a solution to this.
As long as you play with sole you'll be fine.
Hang on walleye try to think of something else.
Oh whale. I tried.



(I like seafood. I need sleep. Exam week. Carry on.)

Too many fish puns

Black pigment is often from the bottom of ocean. Black paint also smells like fish, compared to other colors. Ever seen a fish rust?

I got my first set of Black Beauties just last week. I haven't noticed any smell from those.
