I'm gonna get flamed, but I'll post this anyway. Is there an Ernie Ball recommended way to install my bass strings without snapping one accidentally. I ask because after 30 plus years of playing, I switched over to Ernie Ball Strings.
I tried cobalts the other day on my Bongo 5HH. After I installed the g string, I did some stretching..mild...like I always have and it snapped rather easily and quickly. I was doing some small stretching from near the bridge and it snapped at the headstock.
Amazon was awesome and sent me a new set in one day! I started stringing again. I put the g string on....yup, you guessed it. Boing! What am I doing wrong!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
