Double Jointed Bass Player Club?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was looking around and noticed there aren't any double jointed bass player clubs (that i saw). I was surprised seems how bass players as high a caliber as Jaco were double jointed.

Anyone else in?

If it takes off as founder i will be #1

I think member applicants should have to provide x-rays of their double joints before receiving a number.

No, x-rays. I want to see the "double joints" to differentiate them from people with hypermobility. BTW, I am neither double-jointed nor hypermobile, so I'm ineligible for membership. I'm just an innocent bystander.

I even have an odd wrist, a bone hasn't (and may never) grow in, so they pop in/out of joint every time I turn my wrists. Makes intense practicing much more difficult, as it strains the wrist every time it pops in/out.
