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!
dude,idk when i should change strings,i play about a hour to a hour an 1/2 aday-can anyone help me out?
When was the last time you got new strings? Someone told me to change about 3-4 times every year, which Im sticking too.
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.
you ll know when u need to change your strings
Que marca es buena para tocar blues?
Yo no toco blues, pero creo que podrÃas usar Ernie Ball Extra Slinky si no quieres cambiar la afinación. Dave LaRue lo usa.
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…
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.
which are those strings in the video?
I use elixir too for all my guitar needs. I mean they are not really expensive yet they are deemed the best strings. I’ve just started out on bass and so far havent had to replace the strings. Almost 7 months now. Even the tone stays bright.
thanks helped me alot (3 years w/o swithcing strings made me forget how to)
i am a beginner bass player. i tried restringing my bass with the top post’s method and i seriously broke 2 sets of strings. i used this utah guy’s method and i restrung my bass in like 5 minutes. so thanks and good job!

les paul copy…I that possible?
@KedmenecMartin if you really don’t care about that guitar then try whatever you want, but a guitar isn’t designed to receive bass strings
@Jujucaster1
oke,tnx bro
I’ll try that…
nooooooo dont even try itlll warp your neck D=
No, it won’t intonate correctly. You’d be better off by just..buying a bass.

lols ur neck will break cuz bass string has more tension cuz of thicker string..If u hav strong neck go ahead Ps I Mayb Wrong
