If you really want to go to the extreme of cutting cost, you can always soak your strings in alcohol

swt. . . alcohol. . . abit the hardcore right? might as well paint your strings. .. that way donit change string forever =D

haha. then every string will mute and sound " tam tam tam " . Anyway , anyone knows where to buy Adario Ej43 normal tension ? looks like everywhere out of stock.

Ah maintaining ones guitar strings is really important which reminds me of this incident i had when i started playing bass a long time back. I didnt have a bass when i started out so I would practise whenever i had a chance on my church's beat up generic bass. It wasnt maintained properly so you can imagine the strings were dead and horribly rusted in places. Played for a while and pretty much forgot about the string condition, until i attempted to do a slide intro....on rusted strings....

ah fastfret and elastoplast .... how i love thee.
