Hadn't thought of that. There are several other semi loose pins that 
I'll give a try.

I don't "do" splices. Never learned, and at my age, have no intension 
of learning.

This is the first time since I've been here that a bass string has 
broken on a D. Not enough to justify paying for a whole set just to 
sit around and get old and dead.
