    I love restringing my basses. Especially the ones that go months without being swapped (the ones I'd not giged, not a total philistine)
    The satisfaction of removing dull, old strings, cleaning the fingerboard and the areas of the body you normally car clean well. Very satisfying

    It's not that difficult to change strings and wrap them so they stay in tune better on old style tuners.

      Either your tuner hole has a sharp edge or maybe you're tightening too hard. 13 years and I can remember one time it snapped there and I had the strings on for months at that point.

      @@ursafan40 It becomes a problem on guitars that don't see high-frequency string changes. Repeated tuning over time causes the clamp point to wear and break b/c it has no wrap to help support the stress. Most players who use this style of locking tuner do so for speed in string changes... and b/c they change strings at a higher frequency, they don't usually notice a breakage issue due to prolonged wear. For the guy who plays every night in his garage and only changes strings a few times/year, he's going to break them on short order- just from tuning. Now, if you want to talk vintage-style peg locks, I'm all ears, as that is a far superior design.
