Got a daughter who is a trainee physio, and a doctor appt. on Monday. We'll see how it goes. I know Alexander Technique could help but don't know anyone nearby who does it.

Anyone have any tips or recommendations. I'm getting arthritis/carpal tunnel in my hands (not just from bass playing) , some of the joints are inflamed, particularly the one at the base of the little finger on my right hand. It's painful to play but I don't want to stop, I have a gig in 10...

I'm a female bassist. I didn't start with a teacher. I just started and picked it up as I went along. I have a good ear, and already played guitar. About a year ago I decided I wanted to get serious with it. I listen to bass lines on everything, watch the bass players in every band I...

That's what we did and it's a lot better now. The action was raised just a tad but not high enough to make it hard to play. It still clicks a bit if I hit it really hard but you're right, you don't hear it in the mix. Happy days!:bassist:

Thanks Geoff. That's a lovely looking bass you have there. I'm not envious at all, not at all, really I'm not.. :crying: According to Westone's info website : http://www.westone.info/spectrumgtbass.html - the bridge pickup is the Magnabass IV and the neck pickup is the III. It'd be...

Hi, newbie on the forum *waving all the way from the North West of Ireland* I recently acquired a beautiful Westone Spectrum GT bass and it is perfect in every respect, except that the small problem with one of the pickups that I thought was due to dodgy wiring appears to be a bigger problem...

Hi, newbie on the forum here, all the way from the North West of Ireland *waving* I recently came into possession of a Westone Spectrum GT bass, gorgeous piece of kit, perfect in every respect except a small problem with one of the pickups (wiring or such, I thought). Turned out the small...
