Horrible medical condition... What's the name of it?

I have a horrible condition which makes me want to be home so I can play my bass.

What is the name of this bizarre condition?

It's almost like an addiction.

Horrible...

I think you and I have the same condition.

Otherwise known as Lazy Bassist Syndrome
No known cure at the moment, but research is being done to solve this horrible, horrible condition.

wld3 shall hereby be credited with the invention of the expression "Groove Separation Anxiety", or G.S.A. for short.

Now take your calendar and put a big red mark on it, and never throw this calendar away.

I too suffer from this illness. I also have a condition which causes me to become irritable and restless when i go for a extended period of time without playing music with other people.

G.S.A.

And my doctor told me it was called Stringapullamania. Knew I shouldn't trust that doc.

Back in my paramedic days we used to call it FibroImLazy.

Chronic, incurable, untreatable. I've been suffering from it for about 40 years

HaVIC5 · #16 09-16-2009, 10:02 AM

G.S.A it is.

rhapbus · #18 09-28-2009, 11:56 AM

I have GSA at random spouts during the day. but sometimes i have the exact opposite and don't want to play at all! then an hour later i crave it like some kind of rabid pregnant woman! Help me bass doctors!!!!!

You can try air bass. But mouth bass is pretty good too.

You walk around going like this "doom.. dee-dooh... doo-doom... dee-dooh-doom..."

You can even do things you can't do on the bass, for instance I can't slap, and mouth bass helped me go around the frustration.

I suggest whenever you have a chance, you play "mind bass".

Close your eyes, picture yourself playing/practicing and watching your fingers on the fretboard very closely, playing everything correctly with excellent technique, proper form and good time while singing the bass lines.

Try this a few times a day and you'll double your daily practice routine.

When you get home, repeat everything you've practiced with your "mind bass" on your real bass and notice the improvement if you didnt' fall asleep while practicing "mind bass".)
