JDL Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 No, its not a band. No, its not an organization. Its your fingers. My left-hand index finger hurts right now, but it is in good style. It's from playing a lot. My question to you is: 1.Have your fingers ever hurt from playing too much(most everyone will be a "yes.") 2.Which finger/fingers and why? 3.Has it prevented you in any way to do your duty in a situation?

BNC Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I got sore fingers when I first began gigging of upright. With the heavier strings and different contact areas, your fingers have to become caulused and adjust. For the first weekend of upright gigs, I started with one set, then moved it up to 2 and so forth until I could play a whole night on the big bass. I haven't been playing much lately (sad, I know) and I have noticed my fingers are more sensative, guess I get to do it all over again Grit your teeth until you get a blister, then give that finger a break (use others or don't play). And for God's sake, DON"T PLAY UNTIL YOUR FINGERS BLEED! It is not cool and does not make you some hard-core player. All it does is give you pain, damage your fingers, and get get your bass all bloody and gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
