Get a cheap ultrasonic bath, fill it with water and acetone/xylene, and let it cavitate on the strings for an hour or two. No need to boil anything. Ultra super clean. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71611133 ? Bass is fun to play. fag. I have been playing guitar for many years. My nephew gave me the bass guitar that he had never learned to play so I started messing around with it and I found that it was indeed fun to play. |

They sound as good as new. Bright and shiny. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide. John Adams |

"Nothing much. Just boiling my bass strings" I was like what the fuck. Apparently it was a thing. Meet a few bassist over the years that has done that. _______________________ |
