Sign in to disble this ad
im a good bass player, but i mostly play sitting down. recently i decided to improve my playing standing up. but i noticed that im unable to stretch my fingers like i am sitting down.

for example i cannot do my exercise of

-------------------------1-2-3-4----------------------------2-3-4-5
------------------1-2-3-4---------------------------2-3-4-5
----------1-2-3-4--------------------------2-3-4-5-
-1-2-3-4-------------------------2-3-4-5-

standing up.

can someone help me stop this/ help me understand/ improve my standing up playing ability.

thankyou

Shorten strap/raise bass to a comfortable position similar to your sitting position.
