Lozz196 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 In my last band I needed that fresh new steel rounds twang, Warwick Red Labels lasted pretty well so that was every 2 months or so. Now I use Elixirs and can get between 8 months to a year before the clarity on the E goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_D Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 What is this "change strings" you speak of ? I have a set of Chromes, coming up to 14 years old. They are just starting to sound broken in. Wont be coming off in my lifetime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'm going to pass my bass on to my grandson. Hell probably have to think about changing the strings when he reaches retirement age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 What, you can change strings?!?! Who knew! (Before you criticise, remember Bernard Edwards) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The GHS Boomers on my BB are 4 months old and the Fenders on my Squier P are 3 months old. Both are nickel-plated steel hexcores. With both sets, the richness has dropped out of the sound, and the brilliance has turned into a kind of perfunctory jangle. A usable noise I'm sure, but I miss the intensity and vibrancy.

Ahhhh, yessss, lovely 🥰 I hadn't really realised how much crispness of attack had been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
