Hey everyone
The age old question on string life, boiling and cleaning products...
I regularly use fast fret after each time I play....But as I sweat alot live my strings really do take a pounding....
Also I notice slapping and popping drasticly reduces string life? I have used many differnt string brands types and gauges.....I do have a fav in regards to tone but I feel prettymuch any sting doesnt provide very long life....
Between practing,rehearsal and ofcaorse live I am lucky to get a couple of days at full potientel in regards to tone as I prefare that brand new string piano like tone.....
Does any one have any recommendations?
I have tried boiling as we know it does work but will only last a rehearsal...
Bass strings can be expensive but as we know tone is very inportant...
I currently use ernie ball slinky..
Past favs have been rotosound swing bass....D'addario pro steels...D'addario nickel....and tons others..
Coated strings? Pros ? cons?
