Apparently, you don't have enough instruments to last long enough. :wink:

You've been using the same strings for two years?
I can go for years between string changes on my basses, and usually a year or more on my guitars.

I've had the same Rickenbacker brand nylon tape wound strings on my '92 4003FL FG since 1999. They feel amazing and sound even better.

I usually play on a set until I break a string which is anywhere from 1-5 years. When I finally do switch it's like playing a new bass. It's wonderful.
