...Fuckin' A.

I just broke my E string tonight. It was a new set of strings too (a couple of weeks or so old).

Fuck.

That's $35 down the drain.

:s

I broke my E-string about 2 weeks ago...and yes I need a whole new set cuz you can't buy new strings separately...

And this E-string was about a month old!!!

And bass-strings are fuckin' expensive...

I hate when that happens. Especially when i'm in too lazy of a mood to replace it, but the song that i'm currently playing uses it. Grr

Actually, you can replace single strings, given that the manufacturer sells them. Check out www.juststrings.com (they have a section of the site that deals with single strings from different manufacturers). Don't know if they ship to Croatland, though.

What sucks for me is that the strings I like, Dean Markley SR2000's don't sell individual strings. At least as far as I know they don't. And to top it off, I broke my first string ever (for bass, that is), and I have to get 6 new ones to replace it. This is what sucks the most about playing extended range instruments.

Fuck.

Opacity: Yep

Hm...I'll check this out.

neal, the trouble is that usually it's the same string that breaks, so then you have assloads of E strings for example, but always have to buy a new set cuz they don't sell separate D's.
