Observations on Bass Related Neck Pain

[endorka]

A few years ago I was suffering from substantial neck & shoulder pain from playing bass guitar and double bass. Through research, experimentation and with a good amount of help from some members of Basschat I've been able to fix these problems.

Since this is something many bass players experience, I wrote a blog post about it, maybe it will be of help to some others?

A good read, thanks Jennifer!
I get neck pain in exactly the same place when I wear my bass too high, it takes days to recover from a 2 hour show!

Glad to be of help :-)

Is it only when you have the bass too high that you get the neck pain?
