    That is from one Bass to another
    Now I understand why bass players never trim their strings...

    Hahah! I remember watching that episode of SSTV aaaages ago! 😝 good times, gotta love stack!

    Adam had enlightened me that it would cost me 259 buckaroos for a 4 string ex kit. Which is roughly 30 or 50 bucks more than the 5 string, which is no big deal, I expected something like that. So the way I see it, there's no point paying more money for less options, if need be I'll just ignore the extra string. now just the tough wait of saving some money while I finish my other kits :P
    For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...

    @DB 20 years!!!? How often are you playing those strings? :P
    I use Ernie Ball Flatwounds... The older they get the better they seem to sound.
    Have a mate over east that plays two or three gigs a week and has had the same set on for over 20 years now.....

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Being a finger player with a very light touch, I have never managed to break one....

    Mhmm I'm the same DB. I've seen people break the damn E string (even seen a B break, what the actual?) multiple times and who knows how hard they play....
