Stinging Fretting Hand

[Farout]

I don't know if this has been posted before, but i have a problem when i press my fretting fingers on the strings, they sting like i was shocked. I dunno if its my technique or a problem with my fingers, but yeah, i need to get this solved haha.

Could be really messed up electronics and you're getting shocked. I've had that before when I played outdoors (stood on the ground) or played in a place with poorly grounded power (or under-powered). Have someone else play your bass and see if they get shocked.

Or... it could be pinched nerves. If it happens a lot, see a doctor, they might have some help. I used to get that in just one finger, and not all the time. It finally just went away.

yeah probably the pinched nerve one, cause it would happen randomly no matter where i was at, and it happens with acoustics too. thats so weird though...how did it just go away?
