new stingray question

[fleaisamachine]

so i ordered my stingray should be here monday or tuesday, and i was wondering if stingrays g sting is harder to break that other basses? because i have a schecter which slaps pretty good actually but it breaks the g string every month or so, is the stingray constructed differently allowing the gstring to be less breakable?? thanks

Your Schechter most likely has a bur(spur?) on the bridge that makes the G strings break easily. Slapping doesn't help that, but you can remedy the situation, I sure somene else with chime in about that. On the other hand, you might just play really hard(attempting to be flea ) and that with enough "abuse" any string will break.

lol flea is a mad man dude i saw him live twice in the liast 2 days and he pops pretty hard on his modulus and they didnt break but yeah he is amazong i love him

My guess is that your popping technique needs some refinement. It can't hurt to check the saddles. What brand of strings are you using?
