Nice string drawer. I've added John Pearse's to my string drawer but need to re-order. They have a nice Slik n Bronze folk set, and GHS makes a really nice sounding Silk n' Steel.
I really love my GHS strings, but they're not coated and between the five guitars I'd rather put coated strings on because they last a lot longer, so less string changing. I have two guitars that are far overdue for new strings, but I've been sick and not wanting to do it so .... maybe next week. Or month. Who knows?real impressive array of string brands Tom, love it. is GHS still your fave?

What do you do that makes changing strings better?
You are way too organized.My string drawer currently looks like this:
i am sure there is a better way, but i done it this way since i was 15 so, outside of getting hit in the eyeball that one time and then cranking a string too tightly it broke the machine head clear off the guitar while sitting at airport in Mexico waiting for my plane, it has been successful.
You are way too organized.
Have you considered Xanax?
I wonder if Tommy Emmanuel ever broke a machine head off a guitar?
One of the pleasures of playing bass is to never have to change strings!
I know bass players rarely change strings, but is there no difference in sound when you put new strings on? Or feel? i.e. is there any added value of new bass strings?

No, now a days most bassist play with round wound strings.Aren't bass strings usually flat-wound, too? Flat-wounds last longer.
