Double Bass Back problems

[PCprincipalbass]

Hello there! My name landen. I've had lots of back problems when I'm playing bass. I can't stand or sit for very long without my back (lower) hurting. I'm not sure why. It's not because I don't have good posture. I sit up right. I stand tall at 6 feet tall. I do some heavy lifting in the gym but have not noticed any pain while lifting. Only when I play bass. It makes practice very uncomfortable and short.

Hopefully there is someone out there who can help me and my back problem.

Thanks for checking in, landen

try a tall stool, make sure your action is ok, and try to go hiking, that's about all the advice i can give you, i'm 6'5" and my back has been a lot better with the hiking and new ikea mattress

Well I guess there's no other explanation than the weights. Unless my back was stressed in one place for a time while playing.

Weak abs? Bass too low? Do you have a teacher?

Yes.
