Studies on the frequencies of bass guitar strings and what happens when they age have already been performed. By more than one researcher and the data more or less is corroborated.

The fellow I'm referring to did his work and came up with his product invention at least as far back as the '80s or so. His device was more or less a specified EQ unit that could restore missing harmonics, those that tend to lose amplitude as the bass string ages. It was a rather large box by today's standards, looked like a small amp head and he used to place it on top of his bass amp head. I do know that it worked and worked well for its intended purpose, which was to exend the life and use of bass guitar strings, making every performance sound as if the player was using brand new strings.

I view this as a different concept altogether from Digital Modeling, which is where R is trying to shift things. A solution, but a solution of a different kind altogether.
