This reminds me I still have some rounds basses that need flats.

I’ll change my strings when Im darn well ready to thank you very much.

Any worthwhile lifestyle coach will tell you that first the strings have to want to change

I change my flats on the Biblical Year of Jubilee (every fifty years) whether they need it or not.

I have a drawer full of sets I've tried and taken off, string change day will probably happen again soon, but not today!

Missed last year too.

Didn't realize this was a "thing", *coughs*, er, um marketing gimmick. Nice try.
I finally got around to installing the Pressurewounds I got 6 months ago on my Franken P this week. So far, I like 'em but need some play hours to get them settled in.

At first I thought it said World String Cheese day. Never mind

The “xxx day” whatever has become far too overused.

D'Addario says today (June 6th) is World String Change Day.

Rounds players, sorry for the extra expense.

Flats players, please carry on.

Ironically, I've found that the D'Addario EXL165 Nickel Wound roundwounds that I have on a bunch of my basses start sounding good again once they've aged past a certain point. As long as they can still play in tune, they remain.

June 6th is National Eyewear Day, National Higher Education Day, National Applesauce Cake Day, National Drive-In Movie Day, National Gardening Exercise Day, National Yo-Yo Day and of course D-Day.

I changed my strings yesterday and might change them again today. Back and forth between two sets of strings that I boil the heck out of. I’ll put fresh strings on every three-to-four months.

When God wants me to change my strings, he will make one break.

 

[SunByrne]

It's a cute gimmick but humorously I change strings about once a year on most of my basses and as an academic I do it in the summer--did four of my basses this past weekend. Honestly a lot of the time it's just an excuse to clean the bass, polish the frets, oil the fretboard, etc. all of which is easier to do when the strings are off.

Is there a slump in sales in June?

basses are good but I do have two packs of Daddario guitar strings in deck for the Tele and Strat!
