Silverwolf Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Removed the strings from my recently purchased used bass and gave them a 20 hour soak in meths. Dried them and replaced them on the guitar, and now noticed that at least a couple of the strings have a few shiny marks where they meet up with the frets. Assume that when I replaced the strings, they got rotated around a bit, so the lower side of the string has now moved around to the side/top. Does this suggest heavy wear, or does this happen quite early in a string's life? Should I replace the strings, and if so how do I find out what gauge strings I have at the moment?
