    I knew it would be quicker than 7 mins. Below 5 mins is possible, but I don't want to damage my G&L. Maybe I'll do another one in the future with my cheap B-Bass.

    Jay, I want you in my pit crew. Broken string? No problem. Be back in business in 30 seconds flat.

    Hell, it takes me about a half hour to change all my strings.

    ...the first time. The second time she agreed on 15 minutes. The third time she insisted on 7 minutes.

    Well, six. And that's counting stretching the strings too. But yeah, about 5 minutes per string.
