point taken. also, munji, i get dehydrated pretty often, this might be a cause as well, i will try to drink more water.

Alright, thanks- it's good to know it isn't too serious.

Recently, my index and middle fingers have locked up when I play the bass for over an hour or so. They spasm, and curl almost completely shut and then slowly release. My hands have fairly poor circulation, I think, because they are always freezing cold. Is this a pretty common problem with a...

You know, to be honest, I didn't check this thread until today. As far as the jam goes, i didn't even play the bass because I was watching kids and socializing most of the time. However, after things slowed down a little bit, I hopped onto the upright piano and did my best to try to fit in...
