[quote name='alanbass1' post='807979' date='Apr 16 2010, 08:05 AM']Hi and welcome. Where are you playing?[/quote] Do you mean what venues am I playing in? If so then mainly around berkshire, mainly maidenhead in a public capacity. But we're looking to expand as much as possible, know any good places?

Just saying hi to all. Urrm a little about myself, been playing bass for about 2 years now, self taught, moved over from guitar after being the only one in my band with a good enough sense of rhythm for it Currently playing in a covers band and gigging around the Buckinghamshire/Berkshire area, its nice to be paid.... Unfortunately its taking its tole on my wrists! I really don't want my tendons to explode before i'm 30 [b]so are there any exercises or training methods for building up good hand/wrist strength?[/b] (I don't wear my bass by my ankles so its not a height issue). I was considering buying one of those speedball gyro things, and some hand grips but will this make a difference? Also, I'm in the market for a short scale bass (hehe) unfortunately I can't find any shops that have a decent selection of short scale basses, I'm in the south-east area near London but would be willing to travel up to the midlands. [b]Anyone know any good shops for short scale basses?[/b] My current rig is: Ibanez SRX300 (my mates hehe ) Trace Elliot AH250 SMX Trace Elliot AH150 MkV GP11 Trace Elliot 1x15 I'm looking for a good 2x10 to match up to this rig, it doesn't seem that trace made many 2x10's back in the day. [b]Does anyone know of a good matching 2x10 for this old TE 1x15?[/b] Thanks in advance for any info you may share Wish you all well!
