Yeah, boiling strings sounds like a complete waste of time to me. New strings only cost twenty bucks and I'm sure they sound better than something that's been on your bass for five months. It sounds to me like one of those "home remedies" that somebody thought up just to see if it works but isn't necessarily more practical or better.
Well,it is a quote on quote,Home remedie that does work albeit they may not last a long time but it does work but I myself choose to buy new strings

I have been told to put them straight in the freezer after boiling them.
Dunno what difference that would make

Do you take the strings off the bass before you boil them?
