Help Bass string for hanging?

[mrjam]

I have a .230 gauge bass string and is the only thing I have on hand. Is this enough for partial hanging

Doubt it

Doubt it

I just thought cause they can withstand like 60lbs and you only need 5-10 lbs for partial

Is it long enough though?

I mean i don't recommend it but that is an oddly poetic way to go out i must say.
This thread might help:

How to hang yourself

Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone - it's kind of a summary of this gigantic thread, and my observations. 1) If you are attempting partial and not losing consciousness within 20 sec/or getting that exploding head feeling/or can't breathe/etc., ABORT. You are not doing it correctly. 2)...

Man, that's a big bass

No that's just total string length. The scale of the bass is 34" but the taper for the tuner is absurdly long for no reason

You'll just hurt yourself... bass strings aren't made for the amount of pressure hanging calls for.

I thought psh only needed 10-15lbs of force. Bass strings of this thickness easily can handle 50 - 70

Ohhh it's a big bass, my bad. But chances are it's not going to be big enough to hit your carotid arteries ...

I didn't consider that. Instrument lead anyone?
