Using these Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze acoustic bass strings is easy. Just remove your old strings one by one and replace them with these new ones. Make sure to tune them up slowly to avoid breakage. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove dirt and sweat. This will help keep the light orange, gold color looking nice and also extend the life of the strings. If you notice the sound starts to dull, it might be time to change the strings. Also, store the unused strings in a dry place to prevent rusting. With proper use and care, these strings will give you great sound for a long time.
