What do you do with your old strings?

[Bob Faulkner]

Mine wind up on my basement floors or the trash. They get plenty of use before they get there though. I cycle my strings down the chain from most played bass to least.. My new 4 string sets of Smith compressors go on my Smith, then move to my ibanez, then my Lotus. My 5 string sets of Smith compressors go on my Brice 5 string fretless (I can't wait to retire this thing in favor of a Smith 5 string fretless) and then to my Dean Edge 5.
