Agh, I could not for the life of me buckle down and concentrate on bass tonight. I just couldn't, so I am putting it down until Monday at which point I will hopefully be able to pick it up again. I normally practice a lot and I think I get burned out really easily. Anyone else have this problem? |

I think you are on the right path by putting it down and coming back to it in a few days. Sometimes I get bored when I am not learning anything new. Maybe find a fresh lesson or anything that you want to learn that is outside of the norm.

When I do, I just put down the bass for a while (anywhere from a few hours to a few days) until I feel that urge to pick it up again. A good night's sleep often will take care of it for me. |
