Boiling does bring back the zing temporarily, but you still tend to get gunk in the grooves in between the windings. You're better off paying out for Elixirs and making sure you always play with clean hands. I play professionally at theaters and Warner venues and change the strings on my American Original Jazz annually. On lesser strings I usually change them every four-five gigs.
I used to do it when I couldn't afford to buy new sets.

Yeah as I mentioned it's just a quick fix. I have some nano webs on one of my bases and they are Ace wish I could remember the name😅😅😅
@@Hogman666 The Nanoweb strings are usually the Elixirs, unless someone else makes them :)
And here I am trying to make my strings sound as dead and old as possible as quickly as I can
Epic good sir. Only thing if they are too old they do struggle to hold tune. Have you ever thought of flats?
@@Hogman666 I've got TI Jazz Flats on my P-Bass. I've used La Bella as well, but my arthritis says no to that
