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!
