Valleyboy Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 it was totally cold yesterday, my hands were freezing, but i played the bass anyways. I was working on some strokes songs, and they're kind of fast, and i wasnt using a pick. and after 2 hours i stopped and went to my friends house, and when i tried to play the bass there, my fingers were hurting so freaking much, i jusr couldnt play the bass for more than 10 minutes. And when i woke up today they were still hurting. :/ STUPID fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinned Alive Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 yeah, it happens now and then. every so often i get serious stinging pain in my fretting fingers. it goes away after a day or so. I get pains every so often in my right hand as well, probably RSI :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 If you try playing again at about 9:23pm, your fingers will feel fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Bass doesn't sound good played with a pick anyway. :P Anyway, I used to play bass/guitar literally until my fingers started bleeding, but I don't really play either of those enough for that to happen anymore, because I've been focusing on m' piano.

Skinned Alive Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Bass doesn't sound good played with a pick anyway. it depends entirely on the music, the bassist and EQ settings. plectrums are better for when you want a more powerful sound, as they give more attack.

Professor Peedston Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 All right, I'll restate that: I personally almost always prefer the sound of a bass played with fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
