POP Spring/String!

I can't believe how warm it is today.  I wish it was this nice everyday.  But, it's supposed to be back in the 40s and 50s over the weekend.  Boo!  Today I decided to practice cello and bass to get more confident when I play them with String and Freshman Orchestra.  But, here's more to the story.  After I grabbed the bass I always play in Freshman Orchestra.  I began to tune one of the strings and then all of a sudden the string I wasn't even tuning popped.  It's very unusal  for bass strings to pop, because the strings do not have much tension compared to the violin, viola, and cello.  It's even more unusal for a string to pop when you haven't even touched it.   But, luckily I was able to take one of the other basses and was pleased with the progress I made today with fingerings.
