style doesn't matter. you don't need to hit your strings THAT hard. i used to pop my low-E often enough when i was in my slapping phase back in the day, exact same issue as with an electric guitar. burr in the saddle. a little spot of sandpaper later and i haven't broken a string on that bass in the decade since.
