My strings definitely last longer when just playing at home. I know this because I put a new set of D’Addario nickel wounds on my bass a week before all my gigs disappeared in March, and they still sound okay now. Probably played it for the same amount of time pro rata, just not so sweaty maybe. Also don’t play quite so hard probably, although I don’t exactly cane them anyway TBH. Who knows, they may even last until I next gig!

I know where you're coming from, but have to disagree on the Whitney / Aretha example. Ms Houston always seemed to get lumped in with all the other vocal technicians of the time, and whilst she may have had a few goes at being a bit OTT, in the main she was just an amazing singer, and (I think) one with a lot of 'soul' too. He first couple of albums are quite remarkable, and despite the slightly dated production still hold up today. Also Aretha ( Whitney's honorary Aunt) was quoted many times praising her, so very unlikely to have been of the opinion she was just a voice and nothing else. Now there's a challenge! Maybe a whole new topic waiting to be unleashed alongside this one. 😉
