Im not getting any younger, but just lately I can tell if Ive played my bass the previous day as I get pain in my right (plucking) wrist a couple of inches up from the 'crease' and my fretting hand just hurts all over. Its really started worrying me of late, it started in November and I thought id just overdone it a bit, but it hasnt gone away like i hoped it would. Ive tried varying my strap height but that doesnt seem to have made any difference. Any tips on how to deal with this? cheers

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1387465798' post='2312311'] a music shop in Cov with a 6 string bass??? Which one was that? [/quote] Knew someone would ask that, cant remember for the life of me what its called, its on the Binley Road near 'Uxbpidgl Avenue' as the graffiti kids have renamed it

Went into a music shop in Cov years ago for a set of strings and walked out with a six string bass. I don't actualy remember if I got the strings I needed

Bought a fretless neck off the Boy, To echo what has been said above, packaged well and good comms throughout, nice one mate

Like OMG that is like soooooooo last century dooood ^^

Cant see a problem meslef, my current fretless has them, but that's because its a converted scaffolding plank, I try to play with my eyes closed anyways to practice my intonation so it doesn't make a shred of difference. having spent a bit of time with a tuner ive realised that the lines mostly don't correspond to correct pitching anyway lol

seeing some of the sh*te these ad agencies put out, probably toothpaste

Excellent album that one, the one preceding that and the one after though are much harder work IMO. John Zorn was let loose a little to much

lovely bass btw

Nuneaton? you have my sympathies

Aye, that looks great does that, well done

How many of us had to pick up a bass and noodle to find out what they do? lol I know I did It appears I favour the FT technique, but change to anchoring when Im playing predominantly on the E string. Neither technique seems to sound any different, Im muting equally with each. Horses for courses?

very nice

I did come over a bit faint whilst writing that spec, ill admit

Love some of the shapes he puts out, but as said wouldn't buy one due to the known quality issues. And I wish (see what he did there) that he would apply some of his 'different shaped wierdness' to that tedious headstock design

Ive often wondered this. Learnt summat today. I love this place

I pretty much exclusively play flats these days to get rid of the finger noise, I can still get a reasonably trebly brightness with them. easier on teh fingertips too. Don't think Ill be going back to rounds anytime soon

Well, as we all know the dreaded holiday will soon be here, and I know my better half will be asking me what id like.... Ive recently had my first foray into the world of fretless, so would like to explore that. Im a fan of the Jon Liebman/Hal Leonard bass aerobics books, so can anyone recommend a decent fretless technique book along those lines? much appreciated

Righty-o Ive updated to IE 11 it seems to have solved the issue of the dropdown menu However, now my left arm has stopped working, and every time I try to go for a wee, my pointing device is disabled. Oh, hang on, that last one might be the twenty years of marriage

Ive done it again, told a porky I mean, im on Windows 7, as Ive just found out by going to the Microsoft site doh! Ill see what updates there are for this and report back

yip

Im on a pc, running IE10. Oddly, im on another forum that runs the same platform as this one and that ones fine :?

ulp, actually Ive told a lie there, the pm and the notifications tabs do seem to work now, but the menu doesnt
