Question Do bass strings actually cost alot more to make than guitar strings?

[Wowbagger]

Just wondering. I wish my strings cost $8 instead of $35.

Yes. They do cost more. It's a heck of a lot more material, and it takes longer to make a bass string.

more wraps...much more labor and material cost

Yeah, but your strings "never" break!!!!




What am I saying??? Mine don't either!

True. I guess I'll shut up.

Kinda off topic, but what are the lowest gauge bass strings ernie ball offers for a 4 string?
