June 5, 200422 yr 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.
June 6, 200422 yr 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 :(
June 9, 200422 yr 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.
June 9, 200422 yr 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.
June 9, 200422 yr All right, I'll restate that: I personally almost always prefer the sound of a bass played with fingers.
June 10, 200422 yr i hate that :angry: but now its really really hot over here....so i dont have to worry about it for a while :D sometimes it helps to wash your hands with warm water before you play....well it helps me at least....couldn't hurt to try :D
