Well it all depends on the sound you are looking for and the feel its really all personal. I play that style of music I use Elixirs. They hold up really well, they will last forever and I feel like I have a little more of a mid punch.

It all depends what style you play – if its slap then yeah maybe 3-4 times a year, otherwise I’d say once every year and a half max if you like dead strings.
Probably bi-yearly…

Yo no toco blues, pero creo que podrías usar Ernie Ball Extra Slinky si no quieres cambiar la afinación. Dave LaRue lo usa.

Hey thanks for the video, it helps with some dudes!
To BoomeHz: if you play all the days of the year is necesary change the strings every four months, but I make this every year. Well it’s a question of kind of strings too.

When was the last time you got new strings? Someone told me to change about 3-4 times every year, which Im sticking too.

Just put DR Extra Life ‘Hot Pink’ bass strings on my ibanzez. Sounds awesome! Would recomend them to anyone with an ibanez bass! oh, and also ‘Badass II’ Pickups. Gives it that deep ‘Fieldy’ Tone!

if you talk about musique i play a fusion music and funk so what kind of string shold i use ? thx a lot
March 25th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
My favorites are the Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings, but it really depends on what music you want to play. The power slinky strings give me a nice low end with a bit of an edge to it. Experiment with different types, but I recommend Ernie Ball. Other stings I’ve tried just haven’t given me the tone I want.

@Xais56 Yeah haha my brother has a guitar which hasn’t been restrung for 5 years, and it’s a crappy yamaha, really cheap. Still sounds fine. Although I recently restrung my bass and man what a difference

dont take the cheepest and keep trying
it has to fit to your style .
April 1st, 2010 at 11:38 am
hmm it may apply to guitars its just because with all the strings gone you are getting rid of a lot of tension on the neck and that can cause the neck to bow.
you need to be careful with basses because they have such thick strings and there is a lot of tension there so it may apply to guitars too but not to the same extent as with a bass

April 6th, 2010 at 3:19 am
What type of strings are these?
April 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Nor have I; you should though, it’ll improve your tone (which you wont have noticed deteriorating)
April 8th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
just put new light steel round wound Addagios .. on my bass… night and day! … exact crisp sound i was looking for!
April 9th, 2010 at 8:27 am
u prolly dont need to change strings in 1 month of using them unless u got like a used bass
April 11th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
i haven re strung my bass for 2 years
April 12th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Thanks for the vid! Really helpful and explanatory!
April 14th, 2010 at 11:12 am
a good point. i’m guessing that you take strings off one by one and get a cleaning tool to clean the section under each string. i’m no expert but from what this guy is saying that is what i would do.
April 15th, 2010 at 11:45 am
i used some thick *** strings though boomers 115
April 15th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
thats the same bass i got. i tried to re- string
the same way i do with my guitar and i broke the nut. i should of watch this **** first
April 17th, 2010 at 11:33 am
Its suggested that you dont take off all the strings when re-stringing so you dont **** the neck or w/e, does this apply to Guitars aswell ? and if so how the hell am i meant to give the fret board a clean ?
