If you really shread, she may take you back to her place after dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No having to share that sleeping bag again with that smelly Bassist tonight!!!!!!!!!! SCORE----------- Funny what doors a new set of strings could open. Risk it!!!!!!!!!!
Next, you find out is that She's Ernie Ball's daughter and you get free strings for life just for playing at the next NAMM show, while eating Angus Beef Cheeseburgers between sets....... NO STRINGS ATTACHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (no pun intended)
Lifes good......... Chance it............. You never know....
I've got an extra set of strings to spare if you need them (I'd offer a Big Mac, but it would probably spoil through the mail)>>>>>>>>>

LOL!! Ok I can laugh at myself. That's pretty funny anyway. The point of the original post was about the reverse string winding trick but somewhere it got lost between the big mac and the jewelers rouge. (hmm, I wonder how that would taste on a sandwich?...) Anyway, The rouge is an old tech trick.
I dunno 'bout wiping the bologna on the strings dude. Last time I did that and played "mississippi Queen"; Delta Burke magically appeared in a two piece microkini and served me sweedish biscoti and gave me a happy ending :eek:
