How long is the bass in your hands each day?

[RhysP]

I go for weeks, sometimes months, without even taking a bass out of its case.
I do tend to spend 10 minutes or so every day messing about on guitar though.

About 15 minutes a day before I'm called away on some domestic duty related to the children...

If I am playing with the band I can do 6-8hrs as top end practice but equally I can leave it alone for a few days. I think not enough would serve me best as my answer for on a daily basis but I try and play most days. I'd average anywhere between a few minutes and a couple of hours.

I reckon around 12-15 hours per week.... but I'd say 95% of that time is actual gigging....

[Chris2112]

Probably around 30 mins a day or thereabouts.

My solution to the day job/kids issue is to get up at 6am and do an hour before breakfast. No one around to bother me and I'm guilt free for the day, with only 30mins left to do in the evening. If I've got a gig I know I've done an hour's warm up that morning.

[Toddy54]

Not counting band practice and giging I try to do 1 hour a day, if we are giging that night I try and get at least a hour warm up before I drive to the gig.

As this is hopefully going to be my occupation anything from 1 to 6 hours a day, normally on the higher end Shed shed shed shed shed....

There's a nice joke in there but I left my flame-proof onsey at a friend's place, so I'll just leave it at that

Enough to keep your interest

Me, I play the bass probably about an hour a day at the minute, but I often play the guitar half an hour a day and leave the bass alone for a few weeks. I think to some extent they help each other (unlike say...if I was surfing instead of playing a stringed guitar type plank of wood)

Excluding practices and gigs, probably two hours a weekday as a minimum, perhaps a couple more at weekends - kinda depends on what work is coming up.
We don't have a telly...
