Whipping Bass Strings

[Roger Jolly]

Hi John,
            I take them off one at a time rub them down with oooo steel
wool, one smart wack on the floor, reinstall with one twist. I only do this
for the dead sounding iron wound strings, generally the copper strings are
O/K. If not I prefer to restring. 2 to 3hrs to get them back up to pitch. 
Regards Roger.
