U1 bass strings

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Newton,

I agree totally on this, would not tune more high than a big quarter tone
new bass strings.

But I recall a procedure of stretching them a lot on purpose. then may be
breaking should be a concern I suppose.

Not adventurous enough to test it.

regards.
