When a string breaks it's a good time for improvising. I have broken a lot of strings in the past.

Uhhh usually any guitar store sells individual strings. I still cant figure out how you break a bass string. Are they really cheap strings? Do your saddles have sharp edges? Do you play with a machete?

Don't ask me...I broke an entire set of strings before.
I've never seen individual string sellage.

You might want to invest in some better strings.

Anyone who breaks a string by slapping and popping too hard has horrible technique. You would have to slap/pop wayyyyy too hard on a pretty consistent basis to break strings.

Actually I've broken many strings throughout my short lifetime as a bassist, but never while slapping.
They mainly break when I use the "hit the string real hard so that you get the metallic click of the string on the fretbord" technique, like Steve Harris does. Hell, I've even broken the same A string twice. How? When I'm bored sometimes I'll take strings that broke at the bridge, unwind them, set the end ball further up the core string, and rewind, all with a couple pairs of pliers and my bare hands. Talk about too much time on my hands ...
I've never broken a B, and only ever one G string though, probably because those get the least amount of play. A is the most common breaker, followed my D, and my bridge has no sharp points on the saddles.
Edit: (I now remember) The only time I broke strings when NOT using the abovementioned aggressive technique was with light gauge strings .... but this doesn't explain why I broke so few G's

Well dude its one of three things.
1) Poor quality strings,
2) Bad technique,
3) Sharp angles on your saddles (if the strings are breaking at the bridge)
So take your pick.

No, it was neither. Bass strings break, they are not indestructible They probably broke quicker because I was playing un plugged the majority of the time.

I broke my A string once in the middle of a song where MASSIVE improvisation was required.  It was not a good time, but managed to make it through. Turns out I had a tiny burr in the saddle of the bridge. Other than that, I've only had one string break, and that was as I was putting on the new set...defective string. The core wire was broken by the ball.
Also...I've yet to see a music store that won't sell you an individual bass string, (unless it's a high-C string, which most of them don't seem to carry...alas)
Cheers.

It seems everyone here either breaks them very rarely or relatively frequently.
Valtiel, I think the gauge might be just as important as the quality of strings. To all those that have posted regarding how many strings they broke, what gauges and kinds of strings do you all use?
Small music stores do NOT sell individual bass strings. In fact, the biggest music store in my city only started selling individual strings 3-4 years ago.

BassB-playing a long time doesnt mean you have good technique, you could've learned something horribly damaging to your strings and not even know it.
as for me, the only string ive ever broken was trying to tenor tune and my D broke, that was stupid of me

Hell, I haven't broke THAT many strings. Probably 4 or so in six years. Like I said, I used to play a lot un plugged, therefore playing harder. And now that I think of it, most of the one's I broke I was completely screwing around and not playing normally. I assure you I don't have a bad technique, I was taught for two years by a very respectable bassist..whom even had a CBC show shown nationally. It was a Battle of the Bands type thing he ran.

You're right, thinner gauge strings will be more prone to breakage simply because they have less tension which = more travel which = higher chance of breakage.

They are usually quite visible.. some people say replace the bridge completely, but if you get some good grit sandpaper, carefully you can sand them out..

think of that state of mind "I cant play guitar as good as I would like to, so I will just play bass because it is an easier instrument and requires much less talent".
not exactly but thats basically what is represented by every bassist that is a frustrated guitarist.

Jesus christ would you stfu with these assumptions! Unless you heard those words come out of his mouth then you have no fucking clue as to why he decided to play bass instead of guitar. Maybe he just preferred it, maybe he got tired of guitar. Switching from guitar to bass dosent not always mean "Ohh geez I guess ill play bass cause its an inferior instrument". That argument is just a pile of crap.

Yeah man, I totally agree with Valtiel 100% ....I'm sick of people always saying that bass players are just bad guitar players.

Even if thats the case, that does not mean that he decided to play bass, therefore, bass is an inferior instrument.

Well, bass players don't have to play chords and usually have easier parts to play then the guitarist.
Then again, their instrument is bigger, has thicker strings, a longer neck and being good at finger picking is something I'll definitely give kudos over using a pick. And bassists who play lead well are probably better than their lead guitar counterparts.
it's all about pros and cons.

he seems to think bass is an "easier" instrument to play.
He's WRONG! sure he writes good stuff but damn, I just dont respect people with that mindset.
