Kim Jong-Un is even better. The very first time he picked a bass up, he played Donna Lee at 240bpm and then played the whole of Victor Wooten's back catalogue twice, and wrote three symphonies. And everyone stood up and clapped, or else.

I always wear the band t-shirt to the venue and wear it while setting up, but I change into a different one before playing.

Agreed, but sadly it's a bit late for prevention.

Found it -- I've merged the two threads.

UPDATE: Saw my GP yesterday. It is definitely trigger finger. The fact that it has happened simultaneously in both hands make me quite the rarity, apparently, especially as it's my index fingers. I've had a steroid injection in the base of the left index as it's the worst of the two, if it's going to work it will take effect within a couple of weeks. Right at the moment, it's as sore as f***. This is annoying as I've got a rehearsal tomorrow night and a gig on Friday. I've bought a couple of said stretchy finger protectors, wearing one at the moment on my poor aching left. Typing is, errm, interesting with it on

Oh yes, about 3/4 of a mile from where I’m sitting right now 😃

Cygnus X-1 - Rush

That was the very wonderful and recently late Mr Mo Foster on the bass.

Old Red Eyes Is Back - The Beautiful South Barfy tune, utterly gorgeous bass.

Car Wash - Rose Royce

School's Out - Vince Furnier

Hi Sandy, you will of course be more than welcome. Hope you can make it, it's a great day. Whereabouts will you be travelling from?

D-flat Waltz - Weather Report

There's no image to open.

I'd like to hear a version of it sung by someone else. It could probably be half decent. Yay, a whole new bunch of gigs that they can be 2 hours late for.

I'm Coming Out - Diana Ross

Ouch! - The Rutles

I'm not overly fond of Madge either, but the Like A Prayer album is utterly sublime.

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

Will do 👍

Do I Do - Stevie Wonder

Cool. Is this still available @Burns-bass?

Get Black - Scouse no-hopers

Trigger finger, stenosing tenosynovitis, or "stop clicking, you stupid bastard". I've developed this rather alarming condition in both index fingers. At the moment, it is at its worst first thing in the morning; at one time it would ease off during the day to the extent that it was barely there by mid afternoon, but now it appears to be gradually worsening. Here we are at 3.30pm and they're still noticeably clicky, the right more so than the left. The right does not currently affect my playing, as I don't tend to bend my finger much whilst playing fingerstyle, and I keep it bent when holding a pick, so there's no flexing to speak of. The left is a different matter... if it really worsens, it's going to bugger my fretting right up. I feel like my playing career might be staring down the barrel of a gun. Any other sufferers here? There are quite a few online resources that I can look at, but does anyone have first hand experience and advice that they can share?

Ooooh lordy... nurse, quick, my pills... You're in good company there.
