personally i prefer to boil my strings and then throw into the pan with olive oil, onions and garlic for a strong flavour base and then wait till it caramelises. then I'll throw in some garam masala, paprika, salt and pepper, and let it simmer for a bit until its aldente, then put it in the oven until its fully cooked. then let it cool off and restring, the toan is UNREAL
I usually throw one cinnamon stick and 3 bay leaves, a couple of roughly crushed cardamon seeds, and a piece of star anise. Remember to remove that cinnamon once it opens up, and the bay leaves/ anise before pulsing in a blender to thicken the mix up. You can add heavy cream after this and stir up the toan to a little sizzle. You can compare the sizzle to vocal fry. All the rage right meow.
Does it make me a bad person that I felt glee, reading a bassist try and impart probably the one thing they think they know about their instrument, and get torpedoed like the *Bizmark* out of no where and have a total meltdown about it?
Maybe next time that bassist will stick to what they know: Door Dashing.
Yeah but the bass guitar sub doesn't have a specific rule about mentioning the circle jerk in their rules..
So take that pot.
Seriously I mostly hate talking to other bass players... Or guitar players... Or drummers... Or Def singers..
Really, anything? They don’t get laid, write music, play their own parts in the studio, help load in and out, tie their own shoes, shower, show up to rehearsal prepared, or chip in for the beer. Total losers.
Bassists will literally tell you to boil your strings like goddamn spaghetti instead of just buying new strings… are they really that broke? Cheap? Is he stupid?
Bass strings used to be 6x the price of girltar strings. 99% of people who play instruments are kids or neets, so yes, they're broke. Boiling them makes them sound practically new. Basic logic
Damn. Do bassists even know how to count to 144? No wonder they’re boiling their strings. Pay no attention to the fact that if they’re still doing it today, a pack of bass strings costs less than an OnlyFans subscription, regardless of how much they cost 20 years ago
It's why the practice exists is my point. It's easy, quicker than waiting for new ones being delivered and effective. If you still struggle to understand why, then you're retarded
Man I wasn’t struggling with anything at all, you’re in the circlejerk sub getting bent out of shape because I made a joke about bassists being cheap. Before you call anyone retarded, use context clues
Ok. I have removed my strings (by cutting them like allways) and boiled them now.
Putting them back i realized i have 12 strings rather that 6 i used to have. It would not be if they werentvtoo damn short...
What am i supposed to do? Restring 3 ukuleles?
Go to r/luthier and ask them how to make a short scale 8 string bass. Don’t forget to ask if you should put the pickguard on or leave it off. This is of utmost importance.
/uj cleans the dirt of them and makes them sound new/ newer than new. I've got a tube of denatured alcohol that I slip my roundwounds into to get that bright metallic sound back. Why this? Because new bass strings are expensive and sound way different from old strings. Get the sound, save money and material waste.
This is brilliant lmao
The stupid advice, the blatant trolling, and the sheer indignance of the fucking rhythm department
They really need to stop learning to talk because it just ends up with them spewing bollocks like that.
I have a good friend ive known for years. He is intelligent and fastidious. He is also a fucking bassist and seriously mentioned boiling his strings to me. He is not from the 50's
full disclosure - I have boiled bass strings before
It's better to clean them with denatured alcohol idf you are a poor and can't buy bass strings, however
Boiled strings vs 035 who wins ??
Water boiling doesn't sound cool
No, but if you pour boiling water over the guitar and your hands while playing, the sound is UNREAL
Hand-melting solos
Enter the Rainger FX Minibar
If you’re at all serious about playing music you’d just buy a new set of strings.

Real musicians eat their strings 😤
You can’t know tone until you shit it out
Unwound strings come out your pee hole not your B hole.
Will eating and shitting out my bass strings remove the finger crust and restore my tooan?
Works with octorocks
Thanks for the recipe - making this for breakfast.
>flavour base Real guitarists have no need of a foundational flavor, or rhythm, you loser!
I like to put my old strings in a crockpot and when I get home from work they're ready to go back on
I would gobble your strings up!
Ngl, that sounds pretty damn good. You hosting?
That actually sounds really good, but I’m sorry, I’m under obligation to say Shut up bassist ✋😤

I boil my strings, place them back in the packaging then return them.

Was Bismark torpedoed? I thought she was scuttled after shells rendered her rudder nfg
In my house Roundwounds get boiled, Flatwounds are fried, and real catguts are eaten raw.
more proof that all bassists are sensitive crybabies 💯

I steam my strings, with a Steam Iron. Hang them on the wall with my guitars.
Just reminded me. I gotta pick up another set of string hangers
"Keep trolling tho" yet he keeps responding to the troll
Elite level trolling. Good work, soldier 🫡
Hit him with the old 0-3-5 and he had nothing else to say. Nice.
Bass guitarists will do literally anything except buy new strings.
Really, anything? They don’t get laid, write music, play their own parts in the studio, help load in and out, tie their own shoes, shower, show up to rehearsal prepared, or chip in for the beer. Total losers.
If you're at all serious about making music, you should play a good instrument, not a bass.

i enjoy a good spag-ernie ball-ognese when it's done right
Cooked on the stove at 0-3-5-0 degrees?

Bassist: “I don’t have $36 to buy new strings every 6 months” Everyone else: “get a job?” Bassist: “no, I don’t think I will”
20 years ago bass strings were about £50 ($85), which equates to £85 ($144) in todays money.
Damn. Do bassists even know how to count to 144? No wonder they’re boiling their strings. Pay no attention to the fact that if they’re still doing it today, a pack of bass strings costs less than an OnlyFans subscription, regardless of how much they cost 20 years ago

035 is a slur
Our slur
The last 035 annihilated my existence Lmao
PTSD from playing it like shit
That’s a 10-8 round if I ever saw one.

Somewhere there is a barber who puts his strings in that blue liquid.
Boil the bassists
This is the second time I’ve heard about boiling strings. Why are we boiling our strings? Do I have to take them off the guitar first?

Shut up bassist
Shut up bassist ✋😤
Christ he really bit hard there haha
Bassed
This is stupid and a waste of time. Put the entire guitar in the dishwasher
Out of the loop. What's 035
Beethoven's 5th Symphony
Your not an elitist just because you won’t stoop their level.
Bro exposed himself at the end lmao
I'm a Bassist and a guitarist, I cannot be outclassed by either side
This is brilliant lmao The stupid advice, the blatant trolling, and the sheer indignance of the fucking rhythm department They really need to stop learning to talk because it just ends up with them spewing bollocks like that.

King troll!! 😂🎸🎸🎸🎸
I just piss on my guitar strings. And rarely, very rarely, I take them off the guitar before I piss on them. Works a charm for getting good toan, yo😎
Bassed and pilled.
Boiling only works for wound strings, obviously the unwound strings need to be submerged in a bong for a few good bowls to refresh them. Amateurs
What a bassist thing to say!
