Hi All,
I have an Ibanez SR655NTF and have a 5 string set of expensive flat round bass strings (Thomastic-Infeld roundwound jazz). I have played the bass for a few times in 3 years, never gigged (bedroom practice for a few mins only, maybe 10 mins ocassionally. The strings were £80 quid so reluctant to replace unless necessary? This might be a ‘how long is a piece of string’ question but should I replace them as I want to play more now.
what should I be looking at to see if they are dead?
The strings were top of the range ones and reputed to last a few years before replacement…. I’m stuck. Any advice appreciated.
cheers Chris
