Nice... respect.

I broke my B string tonight on my bass.
I can’t believe it. I can’t remember the last time that happened. I don’t use a pic either.

What about a shovel? Do you remember using a shovel? Cable cutters maybe?
You must have the Fingers of Thor.

He's definitely digging in.

Phew! As per TB rules, if there's no pic, it didn't happen. Congrats on not breaking that string.

What’s the best B string for metal?

Had that happen on an E string many, many years ago. It was a really old string. I think this can happen if the strings are defective, too. Even if they aren't old. Bummer.

 

[fcleff]

No, wait, what’s the best G string for metal?

That’s what I was thinking. That it might have been defective. I changed my strings 3 months ago.
I do play really hard though. I play up and down strokes alternating between my index and middle fingers as well. My action is fairly high so I can dig in and get the sound I want.

I really want to say something witty but just got out of bed and my mind is drawing a blank

I think we strayed from that 25 pages ago.

And about 20 or so since he popped in...

Yep, when it happened to me I was playing with really high action and beating the holy heck out of my bass.

Oh man, now it's real! That sucks, I broke an E (only 4 bangers for me) the other day, but that was a defective string that let go while I was tuning up.

I play a four banger as well. It’s just tuned BEAD with heavier gauge strings (.125)
I play in a Death metal band so I do all the things that are taboo with my bass.lol.
