gj Michelob -> RE: How often do you change strings (Feb. 26 2010 17:23:47)

quote:
i keep the trebles on until the intonation goes bad or they break. for the basses, i flip them, slide them, etc. every 1-2 weeks and change every month. A reliable rule of thumb. Many other variables may contribute to wear out the strings, such as temperature, humidity, perspirtaion (or wet hands) diffusing over the strings, your own style of playing etc. Therefore, when the basses feel dull you should not necessarily look at the calendar. Trebles are much more resilient, but they will manifest their expiry as At_Leo eloquently explained. I personally enjoy the basses after about a week since re-stringing, as use polishes and calms that squeaky friction they initially show. That's me (and Estebanana, really, as we recently agree).
