I can't decide whether to put new strings on the viola bass for the upcoming gig...I love that old dampened, lifeless sound. Same strings since I bought the bass nearly 2 yrs ago. hehehehe

What would you guys do?

Hmm, I always thought leaving my old Fender Strings on gave it a more 'interesting' sound..but after slapping some RS 66 Swing Bass strings on...it sounds amazing!

You could boil them apps..get rid of all the dirt and stuff.
Or just keep em on

Yes...On my Precision, I occasionally change them. When I used to gig a lot with my Warwick, I used to change the strings every 3/4 gigs.

Boiling em could be cool. I mean Macca used freekin piano strings!!!! lol

I used to play with a guitarist (a very good one in fact). He always said that new strings on his guitar felt like clean underwear.

No....possibly my Boss limiter/enhancer as the pick ups on the viola are pretty clumsy....You have to find the 'sweet' spot. Otherwise your either missing top end or bass.

When I first had to buy Bass Strings..I couldn't get over the price!
I had to leave, and think out my financial situation first....haha
