Adee Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) @northcountrybob I had the same predicament and found a ring at Flinn & Steel and they are made in Sheffield bonus! bevelled on the inside to make it comfortable and come in different widths and metals … https://www.flinnandsteel.co.uk/collections/hammered-effect? There are of course other manufacturers probably offering similar but the inside bevel definitely helps Edited January 4 by Adee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleat Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I found the best solution was to never get married. It's worked so far, and am looking forward to many more years of trouble free playing. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRhino Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) My wedding ring is 20mm deep. I never take it off and it doesn't get in the way. Edited January 4 by NoRhino Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I wear mine on my right hand, just ends up clacking off the neck otherwise for me. For giggles - here’s my wedding ring - made by a wonderful ring maker in Dublin. Brought in a bunch of old Elites flat wound strings for inspiration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 When we got Civily Partnered in April last year, I was a tad concerned how I'd get on with the ring on my fretting hand (never having worn one before) and was half-expecting having to take it off, but it's not been an issue. (Technical specs: 7.25" radius '51 Precision Reissue / 9.5" radius Squier Precision / 6mm wide x 2mm deep titanium ring from H Samuel). 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I'm married and I have a ring, but I never wear it, so no issue ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Married for 30 years but I never wear my wedding ring. Don't even know where it is! Both metal and plastic irritate my skin so I never wear rings/watches. Fortunately I'm not attractive enough to get women hitting on me thinking I'm unmarried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Hands Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I am on my second marriage, so have had 2 rings over the years. I always assumed they would be an issue due to my massive sausage fingers and having to have oversized rings specially made, but neither was ever an issue. I put that down to pure luck rather than anything to do with technique...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think that my hands, whilst huge, are in proportion, and not just swelled up like his highnessessessesses appeared to be in the recent photo I saw.. Whilst my first wife was certainly no Diana, my second is a much better option than Camilla (in my own humble opinion of course, before I get done for treason.....) I also have normal sized lugs (at least I think I do). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Plain titanium wedding band on my fretting hand, causes me no issues whatsoever. I wear a medic alart bracelet on my other hand, and bought a paracord one to wear when gigging so as not to scratch any basses, but otherwise don't ever notice that either. My Prince Albert, on the other hand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've never had any issues wearing my wedding ring and playing. I can't however, wear a ring on my index or middle finger on my fretting hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Wedding ring never bothered me, although I should note that I play a lot more, and a lot nicer, bass since I stopped wearing it. I suspect that’s due to the divorce and not strictly down to wearing a ring or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I wear a wedding ring and a ring on my middle finger. I take them off when I play and they sit on a chain around my neck next to my late parents’ wedding rings! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
