It seems to be well-known advice at this point that you should change bass strings regularly, especially if you're recording in the studio. But what does this mean in practice?
Today we change a SUPER-old set of strings out on a 6-string bass for a new D'Addario NYXL set, and run that through a modern dual-amp setup, one clean and one distorted and show you the tone differences and how much difference it really makes.
