A bass player is just a person who sucked at playing guitar so they switched to something less challenging.

it was due, oil/dirt , after words = super clean hf
 Quoting: I wonder™

Why not just wipe the oil/dirt off with acetone or xylene? Heck. 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.

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.

This method only works to relieve string tension if your bass strings were made of the same stock steel as the World Trade Center towers... rolleyes

Yep. Been boiling my strings since '84. Especially when money was tight. They sound as good as new. Bright and shiny.

A good bass player makes me incredibly horny. The vibration settles right between my legs...check out my friends at Fodera in Brooklyn. Home-made basses [link to www.fodera.com (secure)]

This^

I've never boiled bass strings but was in a band with a dude and I stopped by his house one to pound some beers and Asked what he was up to...

"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.
