Finally decided to pick up my bass again. Haven't played it for a couple years.



Bought some nice flat wound strings today and a new wall plug for the amp. (somebody cut it off?!?!?)



So I string up all the strings nice and loose and plug in the tuner. The tuner tells me I'm still flat on a low B (it can tune a 6 string bass), and POW, the E string lets go! Brand new frikken' string!



So now I gotta go back and see if they've got one layin' around. All the other strings tuned just fine.



Anybody else play? Is the music on tabcrawler.com accurate?

I didn't know you played bass, Tyson.

Try a bass low E!



Cut my knuckle at about the same time. Don't know if the string did it or not...

No.



I took about 6 months lessons and jammed with a buddy some. When I say 6 songs I mean it!
