I discovered I have a really wimpy bass player by having cut the ends off my strings. He went to prat around with the tuning during a practise because I have trouble with my bridge (it a pain to tune with sometime) and staped (?!) himself on one of the ends, hehe. He then began complainning and saying how he couldn't play proberly because his finger hurt, (the finger he frets with y'see, at the time he only used one). Since then he's learnt to use more than one finger and also to keep a way from messing around near my headstock - workout good in the end.
