[quote name='Happy Jack' post='887046' date='Jul 6 2010, 10:02 AM']Y'know, I'm really not sure that improves the situation.
Getting back OT (sorry) I still don't understand who it was who criticised the OP for daring to use old strings on his P-bass. Old Git picked up on this too.
Who on earth (apart from another bass player) is ever going to notice whether your strings are old/new?
The guys in my band (all experienced musicians aged +/- 50-ish) don't even comment when I swop between a 5-string P-bass strung with flats and a 4-string Wal strung with rounds![/quote]
Its not about other people noticing, it's about yourself noticing.
