If you bend them slower there is more tension for a longer period in time compared with a quick bend and release, so yes it could be.Supernaut wrote:I try to make my bends sound like harmonics by bending them slower so it rises gradually. sounds pretty good. Might be why mine broke?
Btw, I play with a bassplayer who was always irritated because I break strings on regular base. But after some time playing with him he started to break strings more often as well!
And he accused me that I infected him!
