I’ve had the same strings for 2 years. It makes for great tone

I have various Thomastik Infields on all my basses, and I rarely change the strings. If you clean them regularly, and find a tone you like, I would advise against it. I know bass players who haven't changed their strings for a decade.

The Infields for whatever reason remain remarkably bright for such a long time. On my Rick, I haven't changed the strings since 2016, and the tone is honestly perfect. On my TB-40, I have the tone knobs set so it sounds like a P/J bass, and the Infields on it just are perfect as well.

The only change I might be willing to make is going to flatwounds on some basses. I have 3 Bass VI's that I need to change the strings for, as I haven't found a set of Bass VI strings that reach the quality of the Thomastik Infields.
